Rain

When it rains my brains train me to refrain from being afraid
The quenching queues of rain drops render the heat drained
The thunder that torches with lightening may thwart thought
But the rainbow frame that certifies end of rain ends the drought
Soon shoots sprout and leafs leer with green grins thereafter
Bands of ants and crowds of creepers confirm life hereinafter
I stop standing still when it rains
I start withstanding all when it rains
The rain, rain go away song is unsung
For in the tropics the rain, rain song is sung.
