Sun is bright, and hot and cheery
after wintry weather dreary;
triggers vitamin for bones,
shading skin to bronzing tones.

Extreme exposure isn’t brill,
too much sun can make you ill –
so, cover up and use your sun-creams
maybe avoid those high-noon sunbeams.

I love the sun, my eyes like shade,
pale-skinned however long I’ve stayed,
so in the sun I’d rather roam,
not loll upon a deck-chair, prone.

A brilliant take on the I.P. Rhiannon.  Yesterday it was almost hot enough to seek out that sun cream, but today, it's been tipping it down.  Such is the British weather.smiley

Thank you, Tina, a bit of fun! And, yes, we enjoy the sunshine when we have it, the more because of our British variety! Rhiannon

I enjoyed this Rhiannon. I liked the fun rhymes and the way you got the message of sun safety over.

Hi Rhiannon

this was fun to read

My husband had skin cancer - no doubt due to over exposing to the sun's rays - although the cancer he died of many years later was probably unrelated.

I love being in the sun, and it makes me feel so much happier, just absorbing its warmth and light. But I can't stand to sit in it for any length of time, but do try my best for at least a little tan each year.
