Friday 13th 2000

On a cliche ridden Autumn night
it was foggy and the moon was full

Tributes flooded in for Scotland's first minister
and those remaining looked for a second one

Tributaries flooded into rivers which
the streets ultimately began to resemble

The streets all looked the same
like channels which all led to the sea

The grey North Sea looked bleak
as it does for most of the week

In Aberdeen as ever, it rained
Sheeting down like B-movie special effects
