The Elements

The rain lashes at my bedraggled face
Like some angry bitch on a horse
Whipping it to go faster and faster

The howling wind turns the array of litter
Into a tumbleweed of destruction
A torrid frenzy of colourful umbrella's
Toss into the air like pancakes
Waiting some construction

The ferry teases me
As it slowly comes to shore
Can't it clearly see I have nowhere to shelter?

People run to the ferry
To steer clear from the rain
The cars sit there like orphans from the storm
Dreaming of hot tea and a warm fire

The elements have won again........
