Soaked

Pat Cowlishaw (Stafforshire)

Don’t blame the rain.

You know it’s just a lame excuse,

Don’t blame the rain.

If you now think that date insane

You made when you were on the loose

(Oh, Head, forget that word ‘seduce’!)

Don’t blame the rain.

Absence of Rain

June Drake (Devon)

We need a share

of all the rain that falls to earth.

We need a share.

Can a loving God be so unfair

are we of so little worth?

He does not listen to our prayer

We need a share.
