Climbing rain
By Josh Vogt (TheLorian)
The squirrel raced swiftly by
Moved so fast it could fly
Racing up the nearby pine
Even though the sun won’t shine
Rain comes down across the plains
Down and down but never drains
To the base of the tree it arrives
Up it scrambles, but falls and dives
Refusing to give up and quit
The squirrel does not stop to sit
Rushing back up at the tree
Fast as though trying to flee
Quickly to the top it flies
Where it will wait until the rain dies.
