Rain Contra

I got up it was way past noon Thought I’d go for a walk. Then, it started to rain I’m talking heavy rain The rain that soaks you rain. I saw my neighbour Mrs Pratt She was out walking her little dog. You’ve guessed, they were wet too I’m talking really wet. They were both dripping. I said "hello" and she grunted a greeting Not happy I thought, but it’s only rain. Then a bus drove by and hit a big puddle, And then Mrs Pratt screamed as the puddle engulfed her. Strange I thought, she is already wet. But then I realised why she had screamed the poor little dog was not moving. I went to the pub and the barman said “You look wet” “Do I” I replied, " I just saw a dead dog".
