A gloomy and lazy Sunday was dragging along
All of us were slow in word and deed
A languid breakfast was followed by a sluggish lunch
Suddenly, the skies parted, and it began to rain
The mood shifted, the fog lifted
We gathered at the window to watch the show
The plants quivered in anticipation
The wind rolled along and sent shivers down the barks of trees
The leaves stretched themselves, stuck out their tongues, to catch the first drops
The birds rushed to find shelter
The flowers had stupid smiles pasted on their faces
The earth got ready to soak it all up
All around, nature looked surprised and happy
The plants seemed just a bit brighter
The streets seemed cleaner
The flowers were brighter
Even the teen at home seemed chirpier
After all, the plants had had a lovely cool bath after such a long time!
