Absent Lady and the Sound of Water.

I want to know where Sarah is,
I want to know right now.
Has she been trampled by a sheep,
Or eaten by a cow?
I think it most unlikely, so
I haven’t got a clue.
I s’ppose she’s just gone off me now
’Cos that’s what women do.

This is what I get up to on my nocturnal rambles – writing stuff like this in my head. It distracts me from the shapes I think I see lurking in the darker shadows.

Tell you what was good tonight, though. There’s a deep, wide drainage ditch at the side of the lane close to my house. We’ve had incessant rain today, so it had a lot of water in it, and the sound of running water in the darkness is really quite splendid.
