Post-Precipitation Contemplation
I am getting on well with the weather
On this the first day after Mother's Day
Today we had a nice time together
Climate is starting to listen to me
I feel very flattered I have to say
At least the atmosphere and I agree
Now I look forward to the rest of May
With all the joys of summer still to come
A felicitous time to be alive
Especially after all those tiresome
Months of rain when I was afraid to drive
I no longer have to think about that
My car will not run but walking is fun
I sleep alone but I have a warm cat
All in all I am just glad to be here
Or anywhere at all at this late age
With the atmosphere less drear less severe
Now smiling on my lonely pilgrimage
I am more suited to contemplation
When not pelted by precipitation
