Rain, Rain Came Today

Droplets drizzle down
Everywhere around

Puddles on the ground
Begin now to abound

Stomp your feet and splash
Evenly and fast

Umbrella toss aside
Allow the heart to guide

Tongue stick out and taste
Cool liquid on your face

Revel in the rain
Like a child again

The big day it has finally come
They tell me it will be great fun

The big day it has finally come
Looking cool, outdressed by none

The big day it has finally come
This backpack surely weighs a ton

The big day it has finally come
Unsure if I should stay or run

The big day it has finally come
Hoping for recess, a nap in the sun

The big day it has finally come
Stuck in obedience class till it’s done

Studying
The
Reflected
Image

Tufts
Of snow-white
Hair
Atop a balding
Head

A roadmap of
Lifelines
Crisscrossing
Every inch
Of
The face

Gnarly hands
Resting upon hips
At
An ever expanding
Waistline

Quickly
Reaching out
To touch
The mirror’s surface

Instantly
His
Inner child
Surfaced

Smiling back
At him

Still
Alive and well

Bent
Under heavy
Load

Through
Heat, rain and
Cold

Over
Countless miles
Untold

From
Youthful until
Old

Resolute
Not to
Fold

Transporting

Sure,
He had plenty
Of
Designer outfits
And
A hunky physique
To boot

But
Ken finally snapped
When Barbie
Pulled up the driveway
In her
Brand new
Corvette convertible
