A Day In a Town

To a quiet demesne A holiday they'd planned Informing only that it was bucolic A little slice of wonderland The locals informed from the harbinger Knew of the impending arrival Some folk knowing the family erstwhile Others quietly still in denial The expected stay ephemeral At the local store to be met The bakery purely redolent passing by More pressing was the time already spent The host in a state of dalliance Although within propinquity of the store Welcomed with a firm handshake Muttering about an expected downpour Arrival at the manor and raindrops began to form Hydrating the colorful efflorescence blooms It was then he had an epiphany Wondering what these country folk assume Surprising them he commented on the petrichor Assuming he was a city bloke with no country vibe It was only through sheer serenpidity He'd read about it on his holiday ride
