I love to see the sun streaming in My window in the morning, but Today the world is wet. The showers have loosened more Leaves from the forlorn trees, and They're stuck to the grass, matted Down, making more work for the Yard crew in days to come. But I enjoy a dreary morning. Looking out at the gloom makes Me want to stay cozy inside, Fix a hot cup of tea, Prop up my feet and read. And even when I need to venture Out, I don't mind crouching inside My jacket, rushing through the Raindrops to run my errands Because I know how good I'll Feel when I return to my Home haven, drape my wet Coat on the back of a chair, Pull on a sweater, And savor the snugness of my Small abode. Of course, if I'd just faced the Tenth rainy day in a row, I'd be Singing a different song, Writing a different poem. |
