Patti patter,
Rain calls to me
Running down the window
Flip, flop
Won't you join me?
Bring your brolly
Swish, swash
Don't be shy! Wind adds
It'll be fun
Splash and slide
In the puddles
And on the mud
You've got good boots
Drip, drop
Gum leaves drumming tattoo
Squall, sudden change
Squelch and mist
The world is wet
Deliquescence is global
Rain is singing
To frogs and ducks
Plic, Ploc,
Ripples on the creek
With a last hurray wave,
Rain is leaving.
