ODE TO STORM

Distant storm clouds black with menace
Watching/waiting (me)
We come to get you Don they holler
We watch, we pounce, you see

kaboom kaboom……

I’m getting a bit worried Fan.
Talking clouds I don’t know how to handle……..

Should I shout back “You can’t catch me haha?…….

Seriously, the write is based on a storm
which attacked me the other day.
Opened the heavens with hail and buckets of…….

Foiled it. Scurried to shelter with a coffee.
Haha’d it. Turned nasty on me. Shit I thought………

I should have done a Jesus. ‘ “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased,
and there was a calm’…………

That’s what I get for not paying attention in church……….

It passed over and went for an easier prey.
Saved by the grace of Freyr – god of good weather and sunshine.
Narrow escape Fan…….
