in defense of today's storms

yes, they did predict heavy rain today ...

urban vermin rushed outside
indoors he could not abide

sitting down and moping's dreary
running in the sunshine's cheery

but the rain was pouring down
drowning every street in town
changed his smile to a frown

tried to walk a couple blocks
soaked his shoes and soaked his socks
parking lots looked more like docks

this is the downpour of the year
the creeks will rise the ducks will cheer

urban vermin back in time
to write this sorry little rhyme
