Rain

The rain keeps pouring down,

Pounding on the ground.

The rain keeps falling down,

Those big black clouds make us frown.

The rain keeps tumbling down,

It started with some drizzle.

The rain keeps scything down,

Striking like a chisel.

The rain keeps sleeting down,

Causing local flooding.

The rain keeps belting down,

Plants droop instead of budding.

The rain keeps showering down,

No time for any stanzas,

The rain keeps teeming down,

From Scotland down to Kansas.

The rain keeps arrowing down,

Whenever will it stop?

The rain keeps swirling down,

Yes, I’m hating every drop.
