Just Another Night

Last night was like a walk on the wild side. It's been raining here since the 16th of December and the other day it rained while the sun was shinning. So last night I listened to the news nothing was mentioned about rain in the forecast. No rain to me means Cold in place of rain. I dress like I was going into a freezer. Well, I no sooner got out onto the side walk and down from the Heavens it poured. I suppose it was holding off just to rain on me. I step into my favorite late night cofffee shop and out of the corner of my eye I see this old lady in the rain. I hand her enough money to get coffee and a doughnut, at least she was out of the rain for awhile. I go toward work and do my thing and as I'm about to leave the yard I hear all this commotion.
There is a bar across the street and this couple both clearly intoxicated are yelling at each other. She collapses onto the curb. He is still yelling the rain is coming down in buckets she is in tears. I cann't stand to see people yelling and this goes back to my childhood, so I have to go over and I politely asked him to knock it off and step back. He did, I help her up and get her to a dry area, told her she could stay there as long as she needed to compose herself. Then I went about doing my thing again. Later I see her making her way across the street, he plain out left her. I 'll be glad when Spring arrives.
