Rain, rain and more rain!

This is, I think, truly the most sodden Official Drought ever announced by HMG.  To cheer you up, I thought you might like a bit of Ogden Nash.  The first is especially for my e-pal ‘DM’:

No MacTavish

Was ever lavish.

And here are some oriental reflections by Mr. Nash but this is time on The Japanese:

 How courteous is the Japanese,

He always say, “Excuse it, please.”

And climbs into his neighbour’s garden

And smiles, and say, “I beg your pardon”;

And bows and grins a friendly grin,

And calls his hungry family in;

He grins and bows a friendly bow,

And says, “Sorry, this my garden now.”

And finally some philosophy of life in Reflections of the Fallibility of Nemesis:

 He who is ridden by a conscience

Worries about a load of nonsciense;

He without benefit of scruples

His fun and income soon quadruples. 

There you are!  Feeling better already, aren’t you?  No, no, there’s no charge but please leave your galoshes, raincoat and umbrella by the door and do turn that tap off, there is a drought on, you know!
