Somewhat Twisted Thoughts Concerning Precipitation

NEVER venture outdoors when it's raining cats and dogs It rained cats and dogs during a drought and the farmers were NOT amused It rained cats and dogs and the county WORKERS were not amused However they were grateful because there had been recent layoffs Due to inflation, every time it rains it rains, quarters from heaven When Gene Kelly sang in the rain he got arrested for disturbing the peace So Donald O’Conner had to take over and HE got arrested for public intoxication So they asked Debbie Reynolds and she said, ‘You have GOT to be kidding... I just got my hair done’ Every time it rains, it rains pe…Ouch (THAT’S gonna bruise) Just my luck…It rained pennies from heaven and I forgot to turn my freekin' umbrella upside down Due to inflation in now rains quarters from heaven (Dude, you seen the price of UMBRELLAS lately?) Sure wish it would rain on somebody ELSE’S parade for a change Once it HAILED on my parade (The floats sustained irreparable damage and there were minor injuries) Nobody’s gonna rain on MY pa…(Uh, God…You forgot to clear this with Mother again didn't you?)

I was doing that little silent laugh (more like puffing out air rather than laughing) throughout your entire poem. You know a good poem when it can put a smile on your face, at least by the last line, but every line of yours brought a smile. Very funny, but very true poem :) Much enjoyed! -Juli-Michelle
