Pitter, patter,

                                falls the rain

                                splashing into gutters,

                                gurgling into drains,

                                washing dirty pavements

                                in the dusty street,

                                spreading into puddles

                                as you stamp them

with your feet.

Pitter, patter,

                                falls the rain

drenching field

and tree,

swirling into

bubbling streams

then rushing

out to sea.
