Caught In a Pouring Rain
Caught in a Pouring Rain
By Elton Camp
The storm comes & the old man can’t hide
For he has no safe, dry place to get inside
Although he has done nothing so very wrong
All he can do is slowly and sadly plod along
He hopes that the weather will turn more fair
He looks to the horizon, but clouds are there
Dense darkness & pelting rain in every direction
For improvement there’s no actual expectation
Although his garments are now soaked through
There’s really not much about it that he can do
He treads carefully and hopes that he won’t fall
Since it would be useless for any help to call
He is already sick and this is making him worse
The old man ponders why he deserves this curse
