LESSON LEARNT


LESSON LEARNT

The day
Was warm.
The air
Whispered
The promise
Of rain.

She stepped
Out
Without
A raincoat 
Or umbrella 
Thinking
In the
Car
She'd be
Safe.

After all
It was
A drive
She
Was going
On!

The going 
Was
Smooth
Until it
Started
To 
Pour
And the
Car
Hit
What appeared 
To be
A pothole!

She tried
To backup
And forward 
Bur
The tire
Was stuck.

After many
Attempts
And curses,
She knew 
Getting out
Was the 
Only option.

Help 

Wouldn't come
In any
Other
Way
Unless she 
Sought it.

She did 
Just that
And got
Drenched.

Lesson learnt
She 
Promised 
Herself 
To not
Ever
Step out 
Without 
An umbrella 
Or raincoat 
Again!
