It was one of those cloudy days
when outlooks changes in many ways
different because of the gloomy sky
and we know the reason why
humans thrive when the sun shines
the warmth and the light that it supplies
without which nothing would grow
none of the plants that Nature does sow
including the food that humans must eat
to stay alive which is no mean feat
cheerful and smiling in the suns light
and play and have fun until it is night
instead of the gloom that the clouds bring
although when it rains it’s a good thing
without which none of the plants would grow
no reason for the farmers to sow
as they rely on Natures timetable
to rain whenever she is able
so that the crops will grow strong
and it will not be long
before they are turned into food that we eat
all because of Nature’s feat
to have one of those cloudy then rainy days
working her magic, her usual way.

Rain—a wonderful thing. The crape myrtle trees here are more beautiful than I have ever seen them. Having so many days of 100+ temps certainly makes you appreciate the 90’s.
Yeah, wonderful until it breaks the awning.
