Days of Rain

Day one of rain, rattles down our drain
In the air there's a new fresh smell 
Day two of rain I'm working tonight
So easy to sleep and feel well!

Day three of rain, the grass shines new
A gully washed down by our home
Day four of rain, is a little bit much
We feel cooped up and very alone!

Day five of rain, would prove the end
Leaving my yard, a murky soaked marsh
Then someone said, "We needed it, though!"
What I replied, came out quite harsh!

Yes it's good to have the rain back, but five days of it would get to me too (love that last line!)

I'm with you, Pat - I love a one-day yard waterer, and that's enough!
