Dark black thunderclouds are covering up the azure sky I know rain is just God’s tear drops falling from up high I hear the pitter patter of rain as it falls on my spotty brolly But I don’t mind the raindrops; I will stay happy and jolly I can see a beautiful rainbow; it’s like an upside down smile You don’t always see a rainbow; I’d not seen one for quite a while Mummy tells me there’s a pot of gold at the rainbow’s end If only I could find it then we’d have lots of pennies to spend! We could buy some yellow wellingtons and a matching anorak Then could play in puddles and they’d call me Jumping Jack! My mummy placed me on the bench, I must be careful not to fall I don’t want to be like Humpty Dumpty as he toppled from his wall! My brolly is keeping me dry and I see the sun is peeping through The wind will chase the clouds away and bring back sky so blue.

What a superior write my friend! I surely enjoyed reading this illustrious poem this morning, I'm a bit behind lately, been busy with therapy, school, and looking for other schools for my Phd! So stressful! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!!

this is adorable, Jan. Love how you brought in the elements of his childhood such as nursery rhymes he relates to. I saw the title and thought you were gonna be making fun of that song that appeared in one of Redford's movies. hahaha. You have given me an idea how to approach this topic now (unless it goes out of my head)

The upside down smile is not a unique phrase I've seen it many times but think its the type of thing a child would really say:-) hugs jan xx

Is that 'brolly'? It's a British word for umbrella I hope Eve understands it! I learned tanager yesterday but i still think a scarlet breasted teenager is more fun lol lol:-) Hugs Jan xx
