To The First Raindrops In 2021

As night must make way for the day

So also the sun retreat for the rain

Although the sun tapped out

A while before the waters trickled down.

Yesterday witnessed the first raindrops

Of the brand new year 2021

But it was sort of a shortfall

Cause I saw more of the windstorm

Than the announced rainstorm.

Aside, it kinda caught me on the job

And for me, that was the worst bit,

The only thing of note off the scene

Was the dammed huff n' puff

And there I was

Trapped like one of 'em fabled three

Piglets stuffed in a straw hut

Hanged out to dry in the absence of a sun.
