Jan Allison Poet Couplet

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

Paul Callus October 11, 2014 at 2:43 PM 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 Jan Allison October 11, 2014 at 2:51 PM jumping in puddles and kicking autumn leaves - can't beat it Paul lol:-) Hugs jan xxx
