Under the Weather

Under the weather
and feeling fine
awashed in gray
a shade divine

As just above me
the thunder roll
showers drip through
the umbrella hole

Lightning finds me
to fall then crash
and with a wind
the rain now lash

Misses their feet
and drenches mine
under the weather
and feeling fine

I enjoyed this, and it made me think, in this sense we are all "under the weather" :)
