Rain Dance

rain poured down cats and dogs and the worms
raven, pigeon and skylark feasted on them and soil
children swam in ponds and played polo by turns
rain poured down cats and dogs and the worms
grass hopper speedily hopped to come to terms 
snail left its hole and played around chess and recoil
rain poured down cats and dogs and the worms
raven, pigeon and skylark feasted on them and soil

This made me smile - they have 'worm charming' contests over here - amazing how many of the little worms rise to the surface! Hugs Jan xxx
