I LOVE YOU
But I hate you
[][][][][][][][]
I love the rain,
It makes the grass green –
And makes it grow faster
Than I’ve ever seen.
[][][]
It’s good for the grass
And good for the trees.
The wildlife is happy –
From the birds to the bees.
[][][]
But there is a part
Of the rain that I hate.
Driving in it
Is a predictable fate.
[][][][]
It never fails
Once I get in the car,
I’ll see the cloud
That isn’t too far.
[][][]
A drop on the windshield
Is just the beginning.
Before too long,
The wipers are singing.
[][][][]
The road is wet,
A driver’s lament.
Drive a bit slower
Or be heaven sent!
[][][]
Now on the road,
The rain is a downpour.
The car in front me?
I see no anymore.
[][][]
Home once again,
Wouldn’t you know?
The rain cloud is gone
The sun puts on a show.
[][][][]
The sky is so blue,
Not one cloud in sight.
I guess I’ll stay home
And call it a night!
