Too Wet To Go Out

"The sun did not shine.

It was too wet to play.

So we sat in the house

All that cold, cold, wet day.

I sat there with Sally.

We sat there, we two.

And I said "How I wish

We had something to do!"

Too wet to go out

And too cold to play ball.

So we sat in the house.

We did nothing at all…"

God sent us rain this afternoon, after a summer-long drought. I found my two youngest simply staring at the steady downpour through the window, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of Sally and her brother from Dr. Suess' The Cat in the Hat. (Except of course the temperatures here are still in the 90’s, so the “cold” aspect of the story doesn’t quite fit!)
