Sitting by the window pane
Watching for a hurricane
Anticipation and ennui
What will you bring, Monsieur Henri?
Prob’ly not a monstrous storm
Bunch o’ rain’s the Vermont norm
No gale and all that that entails
Just rain enough to drench the trails
A day or two before they’ve dried
Not soon enough for Tuesday’s ride
Keep powder dry
Watch the creek
And I’ll be seeing you next week
