A Perfect Day

The sky finally opened and really let fly, Buckets of rain down from the sky. ‘ Children’s delight: boots, hats and coats, Jumping in puddles, making a moat. Water mirrors give faces a twist, Were all soaking wet, you get the gist. A good hot shower, and please a new story, How about the Jabberwocky in all its glory. Little heads droop, still wanting to play, Off to bed sweethearts, a perfectly wonderful day.

Great write Barbara. Was like that all last week here! Was glad to be blessed with a glimpse of the sun today and a sprinkling of snow on the mountains. Love the poem - lots of lovely memories. Love, Nigel
