The Old Man is Snoring

Pounding, drenching, teeming rain 

Is coming down so fast

The flowers on my brand-new mum

Are gone; I’d hoped they’d last.


The downpours seem to alternate

With lulls of less intent,

But don’t be fooled - the pace will soon

Renew our discontent.


Some places have tornado scares;

For us, some floods may flow.

It’s raining and it’s pouring;

The old man is snoring so!
