Rainy Monday, what a day
Stormy clouds of black and grey
Bringing gales and gloomy light
Through the day and all the night
Heavy traffic caused by mums
Taking kids with “suspect” tums
To the school gates. parking close
On grass verges, nose to nose
How would people start to talk
If my kids were made to walk ?
I only bought this 4 x 4
To stop them walking anymore
So here I am outside the school
Breaking every parking rule
Cursing everyone but me
For leaving cars so stupidly
How dare they park and box me in
Say “Sorry” with a stupid grin
I try hard not to thumb my nose
They just can’t help it I suppose
This weather is an awful pain
Gusting winds and driving rain
Why couldn’t it just wait before
I’d finished at the Waitrose store !
