This is hilarious! Obviously I'm doing that thing where I don't understand the joke and laughing along... I couldn't possibly understand it, actually I'm Catholic - we were taught this in GCSE religion (no joke!). Is this the sketchier side to your back catalogue or does it get better/worse?

Yikes!! is that you Dilly back in your goth days lol! sorry I digress (nice avatar) This one is a bit on the naughty but nice side, sometimes I start writing these Monokus for contests, and (pop) another angle appears, so I just go with the flow, I too was in catholic schools, and some priest or Christian brother told us about this kinda stuff, about 5 years after we already knew from the schoolyard and streets, back catalogue probably gets worse, cheers David

Hmmm… am I just a sexual pervert… or is this not about actual rain? Oh shit… did I just say that? Whatever… I liked it, I may have misinterpreted it, but I liked it. I’m off for a cold shower ;-) Terry

Now Terry I’m just going with the flow, some see rain coming, that’s fine, others like you and me see something else coming outside, that cold shower might refocus your mind, but it didn’t work for me, cheers David

The rain is beckoned by a powerful rhyming and a high level of confidence mood in this poem. David. I love it.

Oh how i wish, here in Perth WA. Australia, David, we go weeks and month without any rain, another side to your short poem which sure does feeds the mind. Have a great New Year. (soon without covid one hopes) Harry

I’ve heard Harry, about them recorded breaking temperatures around the Perth area a couple of weeks ago, and I don’t envy you at all, this one does indeed have another side or two, I’ll send some rain your way, it rarely stops pouring here in Ireland, happy new year cheers David
