Rain or Shine

The walking tour said “Rain or Shine;” We booked it nonetheless, Although in pouring rain, I won’t Be happy, I confess. The sky looks quite foreboding, Plus there’s thunder and we heard On TV, tornado warnings, Not the weather I’d preferred. Right now the rain’s still falling, But it’s lessening a bit. In my younger days, I’d head on out, Not caring but a whit. But my spouse and I both feel the same - If it’s more than a drizzle, We’ll catch the tour group later Or we’ll let the plans just fizzle.

Rain… how strangely we react to it. It’s the stuff of life, without which we cannot survive, and yet we treat it like it’s acid cascading from above. Mind you, I don’t often do ‘glad rags’ and I spend very little time on my lipstick and mascara (just to be clear… I mean zero time).

Hello Ilene, nicely put. I guess the weather being unpredictable it’s a chance you take. It’s no fun getting weather though. Enjoy your day my friend.
