5365 - Torrential reign

They said it would rain cats and dogs all day 
And evening too, but it wasn’t too bad 
In the end, when I travelled all the way 
To Leigh and back, by bus, so I was glad 
About that. But first I read more Ovid
Metamorphoses, his most famous book 
Got really into it, read a hundred 
Pages of often exciting tough luck
With powerless mortals literally fucked 
Or fucked over, then transformed. Sometimes they 
Became an animal or bird, some god
Took a dislike to them, even a rock
Was what they became if they didn’t obey 
In Leigh, watched films at Helen’s and ate food
