And the Rain Played It’s Own Melody

Whistling a tune as it fell to the earth
In starting out simple and fair
The rain’s clever way to announce its intent
That a concert would soon fill the air

Since the rain was a bit of an ornery thing
Whose mood would often ignite
The wind was prepared for any event
Like the time when the rain caused a fight

This fighting was really a regular thing
When rain would be battling wind
But that time was even more brutal than most
Leaving wind all battered and skinned

Though this night it was different it just had that feel
The rain seemed so happy and free
So the wind joined the rain at the skies open stage
And started a grand jamboree

The rain was performing as only it could
And soon was down pouring quite strong
But wind wasn’t minding the ruckus rain caused
‘Cause it too was just blowing along

When suddenly wind just decided to leave
It was spent and quite ready to go
With a turn of it’s head it whispered to rain
That it had no more gumption to blow

The rain didn’t care; it was way too far gone
Just enjoying the sounds that it made
Hearing the dripping, the dropping, the splash
And soaking the earth as it played

After awhile the rain had a thought
Now alone and really quite free
The wind packed its horn and blew out of town
And the rain played its own melody.
