Each day more was added,
excited, bubbly, gushing,
full of life and joy.
A drip,
a drop,
a splash,
until the water teetered
and flowed onto the floor.
There, creating puddles,
it demanded that
a health and safety sign
should be erected declaring,
‘Slippery when Wet’.

I’ve just walked back in the rain from a school assembly. It was great fun, in fact I had a whale of a time, however, my diary could have done without it – there are just too many competing good things going on right now.
