When It Rains, It Pours

“When it rains, it pours” Often turns out true For one thing gone wrong Sometimes starts a slew. So an E.R. trip, Which would be enough, Then a tire near flat Leads to other stuff. Like no transport home From a birthday meet, Since the E.R. car Had the booster seat. Frantic texts and calls ‘Til things got resolved, But the story then Gets much more involved. ‘Cross the ocean, flights Somehow got delayed. Then a phone got lost, Leaving all dismayed. But the downpour stops And the sun comes out. All the ups and downs Are what life’s about.
