Today it rained, rained and rained again

Milou looked at me with very great disdain

in the end wet and sodden a walk to the court

a very short distant that in the end we had to abort

Again it is thunderous and grey today

it is so bad i am pondering, will rain stop play

Milou, as always is excited by her Friday date

regardless of rain we walk and run with her chum and my mate

It's four a clock and we are late for our run

we have been dodging the showers with intervals of sun

we meet elvira and klaus at the end of our walk

and stop to relate our day and have a quick talk

A yellow wagtail flits along the stream and under the bridge

while Milou and i, trudge up a sodden hill to the gravelled ridge

the lake matches above, both a tempestuous grey

it is very very wet and will possibly rain all day

walking with dogs you meet people, doing the same, like you

it is good, as well as doggy language you have someone to talk to

and like the collie we do not want the walk to end

as we have met and made new friends

miss you both

The skies are skudded with cloud interspersed by blue

very sunny but with an evil wind to chill right through

Milou and the collie run side by side

leaving me to wonder whether, in each other they might confide

This morning we went to a vide, a french car boot

this afternoon i did not want to go anywhere on foot

curled up in the lounge was where i wanted to be

but Milou needs to be let out to run free
