The Weather Gods are BS!

I have tickets for the cricket, so it’s raining
Last time they changed the rules, we couldn’t go
This is English summer weather, not complaining
But Ithe gods could put some empathy on show.
I’ve almost been behaving throughout lockdown
I haven’t chanced my arm to follow fun
So looking at the rain is quite a knock down
It’s surely not as bad for everyone
This morning it was grey, without the drizzle
Looking forward to our trip we dressed in smiles
But staring out the window makes me grizzle
The journey will be pointless cooped up miles
We’re going to go, there’s still a chance of cricket
It may dry up and they’ll decided to play
So I’ve packed some food and checked I have my ticket
And tomorrow this will just be yesterday …
Author notes
We will be leaving in 30 minutes for a 20 minute walk in the rain, a 30 minute
train trip and a ten minute walk in the rain to wait 2 hours bofore they call
it off and we make the journey in reverse. Who’d be a cricket fan!
Add to that Surrey are more or less bound to lose if there is play.
