The skies are grey above us.

It'll rain many more weeks, I bet.

We are waiting for Spring to visit,

but he hasn't reached us yet!

The clouds above us are scudding.

The earth at our feet is mudding,

our umbrellas are never dry.

Surprise!  Surprise!

it's raining, and that's the reason why.

The gravel is black and dirty,

the paving stones turning green

and moss is growing wildly,

where moss has never been.

My land is awash with water.

It really isn't fair.

It rains and rains and rains some more,

While other lands are too dry and too bare.

I wish they could have some of our water,

(Sigh!) It's not possible I know.

We have far TOO much water,

But at least it isn't snow!
