It rains it pours,
Has taken tours.
Is it true?
Maybe with the boo hoo.
Not weather though.
Sorry, don't flow.
A little drizzle.
Out it will fizzle.
Then comes the sun.
Can shine on anyone.
Up it will sizzle.
Goodbye to the drizzle.
Evaporation is key.
It was for dino pee.
It is for drizzle too.
Even that from you.
Evaporate and gone.
Used later on the lawn.
Something good of it.
Until it grows a bit.
Then you have to mow.
Ninja Wannabe goes, oh no.
Growing from drizzle.
And after the fizzle.
How can that be?
Grows like a tree.
Growth of life.
Free from strife.
It isn't true.
Boo hoo, boo hoo.
Pouring now.
Having a cow.
The cow gets a drink.
Not brought to the brink.
Positive there.
If you're aware.
Rains it pours?
Pfft to such tours.
Pours if let it come.
Either way, always helps some.
Who knew that would come from rain? Or the boo hoo of pain. Letting it evaporate can save the day and keep the pouring away. Do you let it pour or take a new tour? Ever think you are drinking dino pee? Look, insecurities gone from disgust I just gave to thee. I think I'll go water the grass. The only love it gets is what comes out the opposite side of my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.

Hank
Phone has fun
DeleteWith its run
Water the grass and watch it grow
ReplyDeletebefore you know it, time to mow.
Insecurities can grow fast as grass
no need for that, just take a pass
And let them pass in mass
Deletemuch like when you have gas
I'm number 2 or is that number 3? Anyway, nano is here again. I have a feeling it is nano everyday for the cats and Pat.
ReplyDeleteWe just write away
DeleteNo stopping us no matter what's at play
The rain of the past few weeks have gone.
ReplyDeleteToday the sun is shinning in abundance.
Been out already a couple of times,
Now off to the beach....what a merry dance.
Love your verse Pat.
Yvonne.
The beach and sun
DeleteCan sure be fun
That's right - I despise mowing the lawn!
ReplyDeleteGet a ride on mower
DeleteIt may lower
A Little Drop To The Insecure Crop!
ReplyDeleteA little of rain to avoid the drought
Water the grass
Just do it fast
Just so it saves the bother quite a lot
Hank
A little must fall
DeleteNo matter the call
Love when words like water flow
ReplyDeleteBut often doesn't help as off to work I go
Work can get in the way
DeleteUgg to a 9-5 day
Funny you would write about this today. My lawn is too big for me to mow, but I'm having it mowed today. Need to get working on my fall outside clean up before it gets too cold.
ReplyDeleteThe cold makes it worse in many a way
DeleteGood timing indeed at my bay
Into each life a little rain must fall, sometimes you just have to splash around in the puddles.
ReplyDeleteJump on in
DeleteSplash for the win
Not much rain in the desert
ReplyDeleteLong time since some fell
Maybe that is why
Things are brown, do tell.
Betty
Need to get some pushed your way
DeleteSo the brown won't stay
I want it to pour so I don't have to water my garden.
ReplyDeleteOr wash the car
DeleteMuch easier at our sand bar
We could use some rain here, though I feel bad for the people in California and Montana after so many horrible fires this summer and fall. Rain = mudslides
ReplyDeleteYep, too much and screwed
DeleteToo little and all get attitude
No rain for days
ReplyDeleteMust be a phase
But that's okay
The fall colors are out to play.
Out and about
DeleteWith a fall shout
Hey, Pat! It's always fun to get a dose of security from you on IWSG Day! that's what your surprise link to my post did! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGlad the surprise was grand
DeleteAs I went crazy in iwsg land
Rain for the past several days must have inspired your poem. I'm not good at poetry, but I'm tired of the rain. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteIt hasn't been much here
DeleteJust here and there when near
One of the quotes I saved in a notebook allegedly came from a 113-year old man when he was asked the secret to his longevity. He said, "When it rains, I let it." We sometimes waste too much time worrying about things. Better if we "go with the flow," whether we're talking about the weather or our writing.
ReplyDeleteThat it surely is indeed
DeleteGo with the flow and less stress shall take seed
when it rains, it pours, and then it does not
ReplyDeletesometimes accepts, sometimes rejects, no need to cry snot
sun will come out, some will like your work
or keep working hard and find your quirk
The way to be
DeleteKeep on working through any rain spree
Too much rain can be a drain!
ReplyDeleteBut not enough can be equal pain!
A this and that
DeleteBoth ends can fall flat
I really don't like rain that much, but it's definitely a little romantic to walk under an umbrella in the rain!
ReplyDeleteUmbrella in the rain
DeleteCarrying those around is a pain
I will keep far away from those dino creatures!
ReplyDeleteGood choice to make
DeleteNear them we don't want to partake
I've definitely had months this year were "when it rains, it pours" qualified.
ReplyDeleteYep, those months sure come
DeleteCan suck and then some
I say to send us all the rain you can spare!
ReplyDeleteCan we send snow too?
DeleteThat is just eww
We hardly ever get a lot of rain here unless we get the flash floods.
ReplyDeleteToo much
DeleteOr just a touch
A boo hoo hoo
ReplyDeleteNot a Scoo-by Doo
Not a boo hoo hoo
Or a blue suede shoe
Not a boo hoo hoo
Or a True Blue shoe
Not a boo hoo hoo
Or a ninja moo
Or a toad on the road
Or a Hank in a tank
Or a cat that's fat
Or a boo hoo mat
Or a boo hoo rat
Or a snake in a lake
Or a chick on a stick
Such a boo hoo tale
Not a humping whale
Just a boo hoo Blue
Where's my Bora shoe?
Hey, it's Wednesday...
Such a fun day!
P.S. "Pat writes with a distinctive Nova Scotian voice,
Deletefilled with the words and idioms of a native Bluenoser..."
Did she say, "Bluenoser"?
Good there is no humping whale
DeleteThat would be a fail
Squashed rather flat
How about that?
Beats a dino on a rhino
With a leash on a wino
Such a fun day?
Hopefully no humping whale on display
That she did say indeed
What is said near here at our feed
Not to be mistaken with the brown stuff
No nose up any in the buff
Hey, nice review! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as your post goes, every time I hear the word "evaporate" I think of one of my absolutely shortest posts: I'm always surprised that, whenever I open a can of "Evaporated Milk"... It's not empty.
A mind trick
DeleteJust to make you look after a pick
I'd never even thought about dino pee, but now, of course, I can think of nothing else. Thanks Hatt and the Catt. Just one more thing to put onto my "look out for" list.
ReplyDeletehaha the cat will forever have that in your head
DeleteHey, at least the dino are long past dead
No rain here,
ReplyDeleteMy output is drear.
& I live in a desert.
No fears, what's for dessert?

Tossing It Out
Toss the fears in the sand
DeleteTake a stand
Hey no watering the lawn like that in public. You made me smile and chased away the blues.
ReplyDeleteGood a smile can come due
DeleteHey, as long as none see us in view
My son is happy the rains have slowed down.
ReplyDeleteHe keeps my yard mowed, but not with a frown.
Good he enjoys doing it
DeleteWe hate that umm spit
We got quite the rain storm here to start the week. No need to water the lawn now.
ReplyDelete~Jess
Easy as can be
DeleteThe grass can grow like a tree
For the first time in ages, it didn't rain on Halloween this year. I say that's a win. However, it's supposed to rain the rest of the week, but that's okay with me because I have nowhere to be.
ReplyDeleteHalloween has come and gone
DeleteNow it can rain and water the lawn
I'm late, I hate, to be so late
ReplyDeleteIt makes no sense for old reprobate
The world is white, there is no rain
But moisture here, is to the gain
Bumps and slips and driving blips
A day to stay not doing flips
The snow is piling everywhere
No sun to heal it's icy stare
Blah to snow
DeleteAway it can go
Pile and stick
To some old trick
it's an all day rain here
ReplyDeletethe sky is not very clear.
That's ok in my book
can watch a movie at my nook
Easy as can be
DeleteAlways a movie to see
Indeed, when it rains, it can pour. That's why one needs to have an umbrella handy before they start wishing for rain.
ReplyDeleteThat they do
DeleteOr something to block its view
