977
It rained after a day of fiercer heat
Than most of us in Hastings can recall-
It seems that summer time is in retreat:
It rained.
Heaving gutters gush with the downfall
Swamping paths and consuming the feet
Of tourists caught in sandals who must trawl
Their sodden baggage, hoping they might meet
A kindly taxi driver still on call
Who will take pity on their sodden state.
It rained.
