I want to see some shooting stars
But all I do is sit in bars.
You want to know the reason why
I just can never see the sky?
 
Maybe tonight the sky will clear -
It hasn't done so much this year!
But no, - I think I feel some rain:
All my hopes have been in vain.
 
But wait - I see the clouds are parting,
And the Quadrantids are starting:
I grab my coat and go outside
In time to see a bright bolide!
 
It has left a lovely train;
It makes me quite forget the pain:
I'll have to check the ZHR -
Tonight I'll skip the bloomin' bar!
