Simple Pleasures Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

The morning sky gun metal gray
No sign of brightness in the sky.
It seem the rain is here to stay
I pray that it will go away.
Then suddenly to my surprise
The sun breaks through. I realise.
I have been worried needlessly
and today is going to be
Perfect for visiting the Zoo
To see the latest baby bears
That’s what my children want to do.
The sun has banished all my cares.
We climb aboard the camper van
Today I am a happy man.
