It is raining today (again) and I decided to fight back with the power of the pen, or in this day and age keyboard. Here is my amazing rain poem.
Listen here rain
You are the bane
Of my Seattle terrain
I do not feign this distain
Don't you try and explain!
Just wane
And drain

Get on a plane!
Get in a train!
Go to Maine
Or Spain
You are such a pain!
You are so vain
So mundane
I ascertain
Do not sustain
You do not Entertain,
You know, I will complain
Please at least try and abstain

I will start a campaign
If you remain
Ball and chain
I will obtain
A ten ten foot crane
A wooden cane
A weather vane
With which, you, I WILL detain.
Yet, alas these efforts prove in vain
Not even chow mein
Nor McCain
Not even Saddam Hussein
Or little Mary Jane
Can stop this rain
Yes, although I complain
I suppose you rain will forever remain
The ruler of the Seattle domain
What do you think? I love rhyming dictionaries!
I spent the morning reading and studying Swahili with my trusted bear friend. Then, my poem worked and the sun came out so I went roller blading! I am still loving having trees and bike paths and parks all around here. I missed nature in Boston!
A week until I leave, and also I just realized it is my half birthday today!
Until tomorrow,
Laura
