A Little Drizzle
6/12/17
A little
Drizzle
When I left
I did not expect
That I'd be unable to see
10 feet in front of me
Due to driving upon
The fog
The winds were strong
Dropping branches and logs
The scenery rather dismal, instead of delightful
During arrival
I had to check
And inspect
Then assess
Fix or clean up any mess
By taking continual steps
And doing my best
There was work to be done
Whether I needed to walk or run
Touched up on any loose ends
And made sure to mend
My socks and shoes were soaked
In a place considered remote
It was all no joke
And worth taking a wise approach
Hands were getting cold
But still maintained hold
Eventually finished the job, in the way I was told
Knocked it out efficiently
There remained poor visibility
Until
I was halfway down the hill
Far less dusty
Barely muddy
The weather may have not been, but my day was still lovely
