Rain

Rain may be very nice,
But these days it’s worse than lice.
Climate has changed no argue on that
Flash flood is the effect, any confusion, so what?
I wonder how people survive,
In situations,
That may cause them not to be alive.
But there might be something that’s good about rain,
Well the seasons here are quite the opposite of Spain.
Oh yes! The good thing about rain is a rainbow!
It’s got so many colours! (Although it’s not shaped like a “bow”)
But when I see a rainbow, I forget everything bad,
Like spiders and snakes and all of the bad dreams I had.
The plants get water from rain
That gives them life from drought and drain.
So i love rain.
