“Pouring Rain: Differences in Life”

~

When it rains, it pours.

It’s not only water —

It’s bills, pills and

other nasty stuff.

 ~

Nasty stuff meaning

leaves in gutters,

Bird dodo on windows;

Ants in the garden

Crawling up your pants.

 ~

And honestly, when it rains —

I’m always wishing it would pour graciously.

With a few dollars here,

Maybe a few dollars there.

Now, I want a hug with some loving care.

 ~

So when I say “When it rains, it pours,”

To the nasty stuff, I say, “Up yours!”

But when it pours nicely,

I’ll love it even more.
