Gary Smith Poet Couplet

Rainy Days and Mondays

Still a-bed, early morn

Been pouring since the break of dawn.

It woke me up, the teeming rain

As it strummed against my window pane.

Not much daylight there at all,

A slate grey sky adorned the squall.

A dreary Monday lay ahead,

How cosy just to stay in bed.

Get up! cried the shrill alarm,

A noise devoid of cheer or charm.

Under protest, up I get,

I've never loved a Monday yet.
