A Twist of Fate Hlm

black clouds in the blue
started raining cats and dogs
submerging the roads

A man was walking in rain queerly.
Mocking at running men unfairly
An umbrella he had.
But ill-luck made him sad.
Wind upturned it; he was drenched merely.

fate does strange twists; no remedies for; one should stop giving oneself airs.
