rain a gain
by james mc callum


locals walking all around
like nothing seems wrong
then home - ward bound
when rain becomes strong


nothing changes so what
water stains never show
here everyone gets caught
supposedly helps us grow


washes those city streets
quenches the thirsty grass
discussed as people meet
meanwhile comes to pass


air seems much fresher
nature springs with life
all would appear lessor
with drought brings strife


mothers check close line
mutter well damp again
watch clouds for signs
decision made right
then


children running for cover
under doorways or trees
sooner they will discover
rain passes like abreeze


what causes this impact
plans washed down drain
when all seemed intact
cancelled because of rain
