ITS RAINING AGAIN

ITS RAINING AGAIN

We're all staying indoors today

As autumn rains fall from the sky

In a dull pallet of grey upon grey

Casting dark shadows on this day

Rain on autumn and winter days

Fast overflowing from the drains

Flooding in country village lanes

Each time the sky sheds its tears

Schools indoors wet play today

In the classroom kids must stay

Sending kids and teachers crazy

Wishing it stops, so to go out to play

Feeling fine, although stuck inside

All those inside jobs now getting done

Whilst some don't get to have a choice

Brave is the man, who has to work outside

It raining, grab the washing from the line

Put it out again when the weather is fine

Muddy dogs come bounding into the house

And across wet floors we acrobatically glide

Rain casting down from autumn skies

Down onto the ground creating puddles

As cars go by and carelessly splashes

Wetting us that walk along the pavements

Rain coming down, but never goes up

Hammering it down upon the roof top

Relentlessly falling, when will it give up

Yet our gardens appreciate a little drop.

So, down comes the rain once again

Listening to it tap on the window pane

Hearing the nation endlessly complain

That floods poetry from a writers pen.
