Gin day

A day of Promise.
Promised a thunder storm
Promised GOLD! in Tokyo
Promised a crossword
Promised a dirty job
Promised smelly park bins
Promised an afternoon nap
Promised a roast dinner
Promised a glass of wine

We got a shower of rain which barely wet the ground
A hero beaten in the first round
Finished the crossword
Emptied the gutters
Rangered the park
Emptied the park bins
Roasted carrots to die for
And a decent wine from Puglia.
