LOL, John! I love this! I will jump into the puddle too! My husband and I visited Cozumel, Mexico, with much rain water on the ground. Drove an open air vehicle through the jungle. We couldn’t hear each other. I loved it only for this reason..my husband was having a blast! Each puddle seemed more profound. We were a muddy mess as we soaked into the calcium laden pool of water. Fun times!

Quite sweet and childlike, but contains a great message. Some troubles and inconveniences are OK as long as they wash away the dirt from our life. Well said, dear John.

Somehow rainy days remind me of boarding school. We lived in Zambia and The British GCE Examination Board applied to us, so finished 'O ' Levels in Lusaka, the town we lived in which went no further with their education system, and did my ' M ' Levels in Zimbabwe - was a boarder at the Convent in Harare. Your poem is cute John. Blessings Jennifer.

- A little rain is okay... but, when it rains for months... I don't like it - The new year is filled with snow... cold, but brighter days :) - (Remember to switch to dry socks :))) - hugs
