Analysis of Children running in the rain



Boom! Crack! Goes the
thunder and lightning.

The cat runs and hides,
but the children run outside.

Pouring rain and running feet,
just make your day complete.

When the rain pours down,
 the children run and play,
 smiling ,laughing, and running
with glee.

Puddles form with exciting roars,
the children begin to sing and
dance.

The children sing, “Look at me!
 Look at me! I’m running in the rain!

The rain dies down,
the children dry off and think,
how much fun they had,
 running in the rain.
