Here's a topical first offering to Poet's Corner from an Edinburgh gentleman.

"A Drop Of Rain"

It rained and rained and rained and rained,

The average was well maintained

And when our fields were simple bogs

It started raining Cats and Dogs

After a drought of half an hour

There came the most refreshing shower

And then the queerest thing of all

A gentle rain began to fall

Next day 'twas pretty fairly dry

Save for a deluge from the sky

This wetted people to the skin

But after that the rain set in

We wondered what's the next we get

As sure as fate we got more wet

But soon we'll have a change again

And we shall have

A Drop of Rain.
