Deluge

Sometimes it rains and sometimes it pours
And once in a very great while,
The raindrops come hammering down from the sky
And you gotta admire their style.

They pound and they pummel, they pulse and they pounce;
They saturate, leaving us soaking.
Despite our umbrellas and slickers and boots,
We’re wet and in no mood for joking.

On days like today, if you walk or you drive,
You’ll do battle with downpours so daunting,
You’d be better off staying indoors to avoid
All those raindrops and their soggy taunting.
