A-rat-a-tat-tat!!🥲

She cannot see the tired, tabby cat curled up directly behind it, sat sleeping sprawled upon the dark doormat

Yet it is raining cats and dogs where she is at, and she does not carry an umbrella, let alone wear a waterproof hat

So she stands soaking wet, feeling so forlorn, the heavens had opened on that Wednesday morn

Whilst upstairs lay listening to the racket of a local radio, is her daughter stretching with a yawn

“FOR PITY’S SAKE VANESSA I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE!!” she yells as she rattles on and on…

But her daughter is in total bliss, she has only one day off a week from her working as a waitress, and it happens to be this

Her Mam had left her earlier on that crack of dawn, at the bedroom door with a hug and a kiss

She had a train to catch, as she ran out rushing thru that dismal darkness of abyss

Huh how on earth was Vanessa supposed to know? Mother had missed the train, so she wasn’t gonna go

Of course she was oblivion to the fact that there was shouting, and swearing, outside her house on the street below
