Rain




Is that the pitter-patter of rain 
Falling upon the ground?
Wetting all the dryness
With a musical splashy sound?

Puddles forming, waiting
To be jumped in by us all
No matter of our ages
Get your wellies on,
But do not fall!

Sou’westers and umbrellas
Or for those who do not care
Get out and jump in puddles
With nothing on...if you dare!

The sun and warmth is lovely
But our good earth
It needs the rain
So all of the lush greenery
Will flourish once again

Pitter-patter rain drops
Splish and splash all day....
For the sun it will return to us
But not on this splishy-splashy day.
