Caught In The Dutch Weather! Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Caught In The Dutch Weather!

promising weather,
the forecast is brilliant,
sunny weather over the hilly peaks,
want to go and enjoy the smiling friendly sun,

driving with the roof open,

such a pleasant ride,

no raincoat in my car
That's not necessary!
look at the beautiful clouds
they ride with me,
like white lambs in the meadow,
they follow me like a shadow,
but.....
suddenly
a lot of water splashes into my car
yes, I need to know this sooner,
always drive with a closed roof
the sunny weather on this side of the world is distant,
and very stingy
all of a sudden I feel very dingy
the wind becomes so very chilly
