It rained on Wimbledon

It rained buckets here too
Bouncing and flooding
too wet to mow here today

birds foresook their meal - too wet
keep their feathers dry
or to keep warm in July

I ran, out in a clear patch
out in the sunshine
then it rained, it poured, on me

I laughed, run in the rain
dripping with water
caught out after ten mile run

it's good to be at home now
warm and safe, dry too
knowing I've run miles today
