I Know, We Gotta Have Rain Too

What I’ve got against the rain is not the drippy wet,
because it hasn't melted me, well, at least not yet.
It’s those clouds!
Gloomy shrouds.
I’d rather soak up sunshine and turn it into sweat.

Oh, you and me both :) it's nice to see the rain soak the soil to keep everything surviving, but the sunshine is so much more comforting to brighten your day.... Hugs
