I saw this in our local parish magazine this weekend and thought how very appropriate for the South West this summer. With apologies to those of you in the South East who have reportedly had some very hot sunny days and where, apparently, its not rained for ..... 2 or more days
It rained and rained and rained
The average fall was well maintained
And when the tracks were simple bogs
It started raining cats and dogs
After a drought of half an hour
We had a most refreshing shower
And then most curious thing of all
A gentle rain began to fall
Next day but one was fairly dry
Save for one deluge from the sky
Which wetted the party to the skin
And then at last the rain set in
