In the year 2000 there were a lot of floods and I was driving through Wales and in particular Llangollen, when I crossed the bridge over the river Dee, water was flowing down the road turning it almost into a river. I wrote this soon after trying not only to capture the scene but also the welsh way of speaking when speaking English.

Llangollen
Water, A lot of it.
Belongs in the River Dee!
That's where it's going!

School
Children, A lot of them.
Watching the water!
That's where they're going!

Hotel
Firemen, A lot of them
Pumping the water!
From the basement!

Basement
Water, A lot of it.
Belongs in the River Dee!
Guess it lost its way!

Mountains
Rain, A lot of it.
It's got to go somewhere!
Llangollen
