Hidden gem

I followed the dog this morning.

It was grey and looked like rain

A man walks into a bar
The Barman says " Looks like rain"
There's a man drinking at the bar.
He turns and says "Tastes like it!"

Tess followed an overgrown path to the side of the lake.
The picnickers had left their detritus
ruining the banks with plastic and glass refuse.
Cola bottles with names on.

And there, offshore, a raft of shining pennies
Lilies, pretty in pink.
