When I look back to my childhood, there are many things I remember that were fun. High on my list was being out in the rain and playing. Not in a storm mind you, but I it was so much fun playing in a drizzle that went on and on. Of course there were always consequenses afterwards. I watched my children playing in the rain one day and it brought back such memories.
Playing in the Rain
Playing in the rain is fun,
Especially when it drizzles.
At times we even see the sun,
We hope we won’t get sniffles!
On special days the sun shines high,
It’s called a monkey’s wedding.
A rainbow streaks across the sky,
Fabulous colours displaying!
We splash around in muddy pools,
Our rubbers spread the puddles.
With shampoo mud and other tools,
We make such dirty bundles!
What fun we have out in the rain!
The raindrops splash our faces
We try to catch them again and again
They’re everywhere in all the places!
What a treat! How exciting to play in the rain,
Especially in a drizzle,
All too soon it begins to wane,
What a sight we are! What a frizzle!
