Rainy Day Thoughts

In a drizzle, droplets drip;
Hair will frizzle, make-up slip.
Streets will glisten, raincoats bead;
Wipers work the lowest speed.

Rain that’s steady slashes down;
Puddles plash and insects drown.
Folks’ umbrellas bump and clash;
Headlights blind you, bold and brash.

Pouring cloudbursts crash and soak;
Running dashes they provoke.
Awnings are in short supply;
People race indoors to dry.

Even though we need the rain,
When it falls, we oft complain.
Still, we’re lucky, as things go –
Any rain’s preferred to snow!
