Out in countryside Rain like spear Bad day for puncture Mused he at rear.
The assassin thorn Lay in silent wait Its pointed dagger Was someone’s fate.
Heavens pouring down Prayers for release Coffee stop pending So pace increase.
The waiting assassin Struck the blow He at the rear Didn’t even know.
Speed fell away Group unaware Pedaled onwards Dry to share.
A slowing pace Insufficient heat Magnified loss Once on feet.
Shelter priority Fix can wait Primary risk Hypothermia state.
Leaden hands Fingers blue. Inn gave respite Hot drinks too.
Repair was painful Fix was slow Fingers seized Felt like toe.
Coffee stop One was gone Post rain and coffee Search party spawn.
But happy ending After transient fear From my being He at the rear.
Gods, they smile As plans you tell So plan for breakdown In weather hell.
