It rained!
And in the dry season, too!
It Rained Last Night
It rained last night.
Last night it was dripping off the windowpanes
And the pond outside was shimmering
As blow upon blow of tinkling rain hit it.
It is dry this morning.
There are a few puddles on the basketball court
And the dirt road is a bit muddy
But there is not a cloud in the sky.
It rained last night.
The strange sound, strange for February--
Or maybe not so strange for February--
Was everywhere.
The soft tapping, thrumming, dancing
On windows and streets
It rained last night.
Last night it was dripping off the windowpanes
And the pond outside was shimmering
As blow upon blow of tinkling rain hit it.
It is dry this morning.
There are a few puddles on the basketball court
And the dirt road is a bit muddy
But there is not a cloud in the sky.
It rained last night.
The strange sound, strange for February--
Or maybe not so strange for February--
Was everywhere.
The soft tapping, thrumming, dancing
On windows and streets
Cars driving through the wet lands.

So it did, a couple nights ago. And I'm left to tell of it. Such a thing cannot be missed; do you know that in February in the Emerald City it is common?
