For Margaux-----I hope you like this humble, old rain poem, iha.
I do love walking in the rain...
eloquently spoken
were those most silent of words
their message well heard
Her smile is infectious
Contagious
Addictive
Seductive
Effective
I'm infected with a virus named her
Suffering from love
And the symptom is
Smile million times a day
our utility costs are getting
well out of hand
to pay for them you need
more than a grand

last week my electricity bill
came in the mail
the amount stated on it
near made my heart fail

never do we get any respite
from the ever rising bills
they're hitting us in the pocket
with few happy thrills

utility accounts frighten
consumers everywhere
wallets and satchels
are feeling the despair

soon we'll be going back
to the days of candles and lamps
as they are more cost efficient
for us to use around our camps

modern day living is
so outrageously dear
the dollars we're forking out
fill our visa cards with much fear
Loud cheers for clouds
That bring us rain and flowers
of showers that drench us
Still it's not raining in our place
