Saturday with Rain

How many Saturdays have I spent

From childhood until now

Watching driving rain

Or damping drizzle

Have sat before a fire

Locked within the pages

Of a gripping tale

Or slumped in sombre silence

Waiting for a call

To tempt me forth ?

Too many

And here I am again

Tasting  Saturday

With rain.

JL Saturday 8^th Oct

We have Jack for diversion.
