To: Rain

rain rain go away,
come again another day!
let that day
be at never-coming bay.

i don't wanna catch a cold,
for this i'm told,
that rain you bring the cold,
unless i hide beneath my quilt cover fold!

you fill up the holes,
splash into my poor shoe soles,
you bring a shiver to my soul
only calmed by a warm soup-filled bowl.

people don't wanna go out and play,
all the plans can go make hay,
wait til the sun comes out then say,
else i'll stay at home and make clay.

why all gloomy and sad?
are the clouds crying or thunderingly mad?
why can't you be like the sun the good lad?
oh i forgot, you have a part to play so you can't be all that bad.

rain rain do what you gotta do,
then let the dear light rule,
for we're all waiting for the sun to smile oh yes we do,
and for our shouts of joy to be heard too!
