Waddling in the Rain

	Looking out my window
                                                 Gray clouds hung in the sky
                           Rain came crashing down
                                  That can turn a smile into a frown.

                              Out of the blue
                                   A duck came into view
                                           Strutting about the parking lot
                     Enjoying a lovely afternoon stroll
                                    Amidst the thunderous storm.

                         He didn't seem to mind
                                 Getting drenched from beak to feet
        To him, he was enjoying a nice shower
                                Courtesy of Mother Nature herself.

                        Ruffling his feathers
                                       He looked fluffy, like a lamb
                     Feeling fresh as a daisy
                                     He gave a happy little honk
           Thanking nature for a refreshing bath.

                         He shuffled away
                              Going about his day
                        Not a care in the world
                           As he walked down the street.

                          A strange but pleasant sight
                                Granting a lesson in that moment
               How one can make a rainbow
                             On such a monochrome day.
