Pinch me shake me, I'm in shock, the sun came out this morning, 

For awhile I really thought New England was in mourning.

The sky above stayed overcast and dripped a dreary rain,

And every day that started new began about the same.

Just once before today I saw the sun peek through a cloud,

It didn't last, the lightning came and thunder, very loud.

 I thought that we would never see the sun come out again,

The rain just fell from gloomy skies; I'd given up, and then,

When I woke up this morning and put the dog outside

The summer sun was shining, and everything had dried!!!

It's raining here, so much, that I, now think I'm in a lake,

I'm glad for rain, we have a need, but too much takes the cake.

We have not seen a sunny sky, for more than half an hour,

It's rained so much, I think that I, am in a constant shower.

It looks like springtime's over, at least the date says so,

It's summer on the calendar, but I need a boat to row.

My front lawn feels like squishy sponge, the driveway's pools of water,

My son can't pick his things up and I haven't seen my daughter.

The rain keeps everyone at home in warm and cozy houses,

Keeping all the children in, and sharing time with spouses.

No one is in the yards to work, we cannot mow the lawns,

Because the rains are soaking them from dawn to dawn to dawn.

I'm sorry, it sounds awful, all that whining and complaining,

But really, for a while, at  least, I want it  to stop raining!
