Driving In the Rain

Driving in the rain’s a pain.
A normal speed you can’t maintain.
The droplets cause your eyes to strain
And there’s a lot of tension.

In your lane you must remain
Since it is hard to ascertain
If someone else might hydroplane
(Though never his intention).

In rain terrain you can’t complain
For water’s needed to sustain
The plants and trees which, in the main,
Don’t need our intervention.

Yet there’s no gain to just refrain
From stating what is very plain – 
Driving in the rain’s a pain.
(I’m brooking no dissension!)

I couldn't agree more with this assessment of rain and driving. It's worse for me at night since my eyes are less than what they used to be. Up for an eye exam next week, if I hope to have my license renewed. I've experienced just about everything you write in this poem about driving in the rain. Thanks for posting it. / M
