I was requested To write a rhyme about rain By a soldier man who lives Almost in a lake
I thought of rain Again and again In time, A rain rhyme came
From me to you, Mr. Hill Who lives In 'The Lakes'
Rain rain go away Come again Some other day Today I want to play
Rain rain go away But not for long Or I’ll complain Stay around I’ll want you when My grass is brown
Rain rain stay around My kayak doesn’t work well On the ground
Rain rain Once in a while I will delight When my feet are warm and dry By the firelight
I will watch you through My windowpane In ease As you paint Your Three D Masterpiece
O essential element Presenter of presents Why do we lament So much Your ever-present presence
Sean Hunt April 16 2015

Rain has always been a principal topic of conversation here in the UK, especially in The Lakes District. A friend said to me the other day, "Why don't you write a poem about rain?" I don't usually write about non-abstract, or non-philosophical issues but I decided to try....Dedicated to Mr Tony Hill, a friend a musician and a true outdoorsman and adventurer.
