A day for sport
Cancelled
Visiting the family
Cancelled
A walk in the hills
Or down by the shore
Cancelled
Wet
Warm
Rain
Flood
Boxing Day
Summed up
A deluge
Across the land
Well half at least
Global warming or
Winter taking hold
Government inaction or
Building on flood plains
Either way
The waters up
Roads are blocked
Livelihoods destroyed
That’s only half the story
The other half
Are on the lash
And spending cash
In mad Christmas sales
They say there’s a
North
South
Divide
Rich and poor
Split in two by
An invisible
Political line
Now it seems
The weather’s
Jumped on-board
