Lunch Date in Kraainem

Will rainclouds never be depleted?

The sun tries hard but is defeated;

Roadworks, puddles, soggy brollies;

Cocoa yes, but not ice lollies…

 

Fleeing Brussels in despair

Depressed souls seek the sun elsewhere…

Why trudge in roadwork-filled downtown?

This pall of grey sky weighs me down.

 

Solutions must be found; I muse

A crossword puzzle book?  Good news!

With challenges on every page

My brain is happily engaged.

 

I wrap up warm although it’s May

Lunch date with friend will make my day

With STIB* and book, I need not stare

At the rain – and soon I’m there!
