How do we beat the rain
at its own game?
Prepare for it
Beckon it
To fall on your umbrella

A heavy thunderstorm happened last night
It made the strollers disappear from sight
Lightning ripped through the back
Then it gave my TV the sack
The sky dish turned off straight away
Even the light bulb send in its way
The rain was heavy and looked frightening
As the domestic electric was stuck by lightning

I went to lunch on Wednesday
a special day, my birthday
We didn't have to go so far
Windermere village, how near we are

Twelve o'clock was the time of the date
however she turned up a half hour late
but I didn't let this spoil my treat
We enjoyed as much as we could eat

The rain won't stay
As wind is on its way

Lovely sunny days are gone
Now rain one again has come
To water the thirsty plants
I'm out in the rain wearing pants

Dress for the weather and it's fine
We go out without sunshine
Staying at home and watching the news
Certainly suits a few

It was time to rise up with the sun
Meet some friends and have some fun
On a day out across the lake
A tourist boat was there to take

We found a cafe, had a snack
Variety they did not lack
Five hours out in the sunshine
The time went by just fine

Election day
and whoever wins
will suffer for their sins
