Cold Rain Chuckles

Cold rain chuckles
Gurgles down the drain
Counting coup upon
A blurry windowpane

Birds huddle in bare trees
Dare not go aloft
Squirrels still hunt for food
Because the earth’s still soft

Lonely sits a spider’s web
Flecked in diamond dew
Shimmering in winter’s breath
Nor’easter comin’ through

Hey. It's good a good beat. I can lip-sync it and dance to it. I give it a 91.
