Rain, Rain, Go Away

The kids slumped in their chairs
Too glum to complain.
And to make matters worse,
It started to rain . . .

The first day of Winter Break doesn't seem like too much fun when you have to stay inside all day on the account of the rain. It reminds me of Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat, the kids are staring out the window, rain pouring down, with nothing to do.

“I know it is wet

And the sun is not sunny.

But we can have

Lots of good fun that is funny!”

“I know some good games we could play,”

Said the cat.

“I know some new tricks,”

Said the Cat in the Hat.

The Cat in the Hat should not have been in the house while their mother was out but he did know how to have fun when playing outside is not an option.
