the weather

the weather called for sunny
and outside they were right
but it rained inside our house that day
and well into the night

it rained inside our house
wallpaper turned to guck
i kept dry with an umbrella
despite the risk to luck

it soaked the sheets and towels
messed up the drying dishes
it really bothered both the cats
but did not phase the fishes

at first i was quite angry
but then it didn't matter
it put me in the nicest mood
what with its pitter patter

that rain that fell inside our house
did not spell certain doom
and it really helped the cabbage crop
growing in the living room
