Dreary Dawn

WATERY WEDNESDAY
http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/
and I return to the topic of ANZAC Day.

This was 2008, however.
If you check my PLUS blog you will see that 2009 was much more pleasant!


DREARY DAWN!

What a wet and mournful vision!
But do not treat it with derision!
Here you witness Anzac Day,
Being greeted the Aussie way!
Where are blue skies? Where's the sun?
The rain is drenching everyone!
The 'mike' is covered up with plastic.
Anzac Day should be fantastic.
Even the camera lens is splashed!
Hopes of a sunny dawn quite dashed.
In Sydney, if we could but see,
Soldiers are marching manfully,
Not in a world that's blue and bright,
Making their march a joyful sight,
But sloshing through the rain they go,
Getting drenched from head to toe.
But we don't care much when it rains!
We get a FREE BREAKFAST for our pains!

I'd say that's definitely wet. Obviously a little rain was not going to discourage them.

It is wet, but is it cold too?
