Rain in Spain

by OnlyEggy

They say, The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain But I blame, in vain, the rain for the insane, you see This plain pain hasn't the same name, nor the same game For the rain's pain is the same sane as they claim And since the pain's shame resides mainly in Spain, Neither the rain nor Spain is to blame for the insane, so now This sane can claim the uneven plane's plain's the name to blame But the strife of life is held under the knife of a wife Where strife runs rife throughout the wife's life The knife, learning from the fife, plays with the life While the fife excites life, the knife excites strife The wife with the knife is at fault, fact or fake? Is the knife to blame for the strife of the wife's life? Or the fife for teaching the knife to play with strife? This just goes to show that no one knows the real rose For the rose, in it's thorny clothes, just shows the nose The smell, a pose, so close, tingles the nose till it glows But the finger, too close, chose to trust the nose's prose Blame the rose who proposed the show and showed the pose? Or the nose, whose clothes glowed from the smell of the rose? The finger couldn't 'ave known the true pose of prose from the rose to the nose.
