The rain has come and pours down hard.
we’ve had the sun; basked in its warmth.
Time for something different.
We have choices…
Dance in the damp
Pounce on a puddle
Soaked to the skin
Ain’t nothin’ gon’ bring me down

Galumph in galoshes
Ain’t nothin’ gon’ bring me down
Me
I sit – dry
Inert – at best
under my umbrella
watching
but also wishing

For the sun’s return.
I’ve let every. single. drop.
of water bring me down
down
down
down.
At this moment,
that seems a bit of a waste.
So, I’m off to find a puddle.
Hold my umbrella.
