Before It Rains

Surely, it will rain The rigged erosion site Will yield up the graves With the mangled duffers We must see I cannot stop the rain The cast is already overused The thunder lines have marked Out themselves in the sky Bidding for time Oh! it will surely rain It will rain the hard beetles Resplendent at the castle Their strange tangles with Cruelty and promise Will evaporate About our virgins They lost their seals They walked provokingly In short pants and bustiers. Rods of derision pierced And so they should walk As they like. Before it rains, My Dear Goats will lose their shame But they must never be allowed To scud to the rock, and Ridicule quest for an account. After the rains, My Dear The survivors will be happy The losers will be happy The spectators will be happy They would all have learnt From the rains.
