A gloomy prayer

With thanks to Back of Beyond on BBC Island Blogging

Dogger, Fisher, German Bight
Once again the weather's s****
Howling wind, cold rain and hail
Calmac's boats will never sail
Today

Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
Looks about Force Ten to me
The bin's away; blown down the croft
It's ragged contents swirl aloft
Again

Rockall, Malin, Hebrides
I'm fed up with days like these
It's still dark at half past ten
When will we see the sun again?
Ever?

Fair Isle, Faroes, South East Iceland
Sorry kids, the veg is still canned
I'm cooking tea by naked flame
Oh Lord, don't send us more the same
Tomorrow

  2. That's great Guido, reminds me of my young days, sitting with dad listening to the shipping forecast. Our family were all fishermen so we worried constantly in bad weather! Jeannette xx  http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
