Let it Rain

We had rain last night!!

If you don't know San Diego - rain isn't a frequent visitor in these parts. I loved hearing the sound of rain falling in the night and waking up to wet pavement. In honour of the occasion - a poem!

The Engineer

Let it rain!
Who cares?
I’ve a train
Upstairs,
With a brake
Which I make
From a string
Sort of thing,
Which works
In jerks,
‘Cos it drops
In the spring,
Which stops
With the string,
And the wheels
All stick
So quick
That it feels
Like a thing
That you make
With a brake,
Not string ....

So that’s what I make,
When the day’s all wet.
It’s a good sort of brake
But it hasn’t worked yet.

– A.A. Milne
