Without the Rain There Would be No Rainbow

AnElephantCant help thinking
When it rains here everything gets a bit soggy
It isn’t like Spain
Where it rains mainly on the plain
Here it rains in the park and makes it all rather boggy

We have 7,943 words to describe our bad weather
Like bracing and baltic and brisk
And nippy and snell
Brass Monkeys as well
And parky and bowfin’ and dreich

All but the last two mean it is really cold out
They mean it’s quite awful and wet
And miserable and smirry
And well kind of blurry
But now the sun’s out that’s as good as it gets

So these pics give a clue how it is here
AnElephant snapped them before the light began dimming
This may come as a shock
But that isn’t a loch
It is a puddle where the seagulls are swimming

These water hazards are 100 metres in length
That may take a bit of believing
But that’s the distance between
The goalposts that are seen
That’s why AnElephant calls this town Damperton-upon-Leven
