                                                                     Rain Poem

                                                     So cold and wet as it hits the ground,
                                                     it sounds like marbles smashing down.
                                                      Some people like to eatch the rain,  
                                                        yet not all people are the same.
                                                       The certain kids who like the rain,
                                                           go outside to laugh and play.
                                                       But the kids who dont like the rain,
                                                          sadly sit inside and pout all day.
