Notes About The Poem

It Never Rains

It never rains
But it pours,
Is an old proverb 
That still endures.  

For: 
When you’ve a leak in your roof 
And your buckets for drips are ready, 
Why do the heavens always open 
And the rain never fall steady?  

A breakdown always happens 
At the very worst place and time, 
Nature and the elements conspiring 
To ensure we earn our place – 
At the finishing line.
