Rainy Days

My alarm clock sounded early that morn
 Just before the rooster crowed for dawn
 I hit the button then turned to snooze
 As thunder rumbled and rain ensued

 The raindrops tempo  on my window pane
Played a rhythmic beat  to thunder's refrain
 I got my umbrella and went outside
 I picked up the paper and went back inside

 Though rainy days often give me the blues
 It also  reigns as the crown of my muse
 So I sat back and closed my eyes
 Dreaming of sunshine's warm prize
