Rainy Days

Oh the sky is crying such massive tears But I’m delighted you can hear my cheers I dash to get my wellie boots and rain mac Splash in the puddles and soak the pussy cat Jump up and down in the water without a care I'm soaking wet down to my underwear It’s so wonderful to be so carefree … I’m simply a child at the age of three 09~12~14 Contest: Rainy Days Sponsor : Leonora Galinta ~awarded 1st place

Congratulations on your top placing in this contest, Jan. When young I too enjoyed running in the rain, especially in autumn when here the temperature is still rather warm; mind you, even now that I am much older, I still fall victim to this temptation:) hugs // paul
