Waterlands

It's been:
chucking
benting
booning
bossing
boying
gulching
kelching
lashing
pissing
plothering and 
wazzing .... it down

There are lachans, lodens, blatters, plashes, puils, pulks and swidges in this dingy. *

I think I'm still in St Brendan mode, still pondering about Judas Iscariot on his rock.
