“They must be mad!” I heard him say,
As two cyclists in their cycling attire
Passed us.
At least we were dry(ish)
Standing on the lawn playing croquet
Covered in our waterproofs,
The cyclists were not!
Yes we may well have been mad,
Enjoying our game in the rain.
We may well have been mad
But not as stupid
As the soaked cyclists!

Doh! Good write Gold.
Some people don't change from Summery clothes - some wear shorts all year round. *Gets out gloves again myself*.
You casting that clout, as they say? Or not until May is out?
'I heard on(e) of them say "The(y) must be mad!",
they themselves were absolutely soaked
each to their own I suppose.'
lol, wonderfully witty,
keep singing and dancing dear Poet,
let those who cherish dwelling in the misery they try to inflict on others: drown themselves - foolishly, in their own self-pity...
whilst those of us who've tasted the true bitterness of life - continue: to fight 'our' good fight, squeeze every last ounce out of life and face our fate's with that 'what-took-you-so-long' smirk, planted proud on our face...
salud mi amigo,
hope that roast is just this side of 'perfect pink' and that gravy flows silky smooth - all weekend long
Thank you for your wonderful words Mek. May you day be full of cheer and love.
