Interesting! I can't imagine why that would be a bad thing for farmers ... rain for the crops and all that (maybe over-watering is bad just like under-watering is?).

Feeling rich on a rainy day - well said (and quite poetic, I might add).

Monopoly isn't my game... but when it's raining outside and nothing better to do... why not bust out a board game? Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Ha! This was good. Monopoly isn't my forte, but I do owe my brother a lot in money. :P Good Haiku!
