Rainy Day

It is a rainy day
In the month of May
The skies are grey
The clouds here to stay
Drip Drip Drip
Over the rooftops
Seconds Minutes Hours
Oh God! When will it stop
Indoors I have to stay
In bed, here I lay
Hot tea and some Kachoree
Give me company
The television is on
The book unread
I wish I was out
Somewhere else instead
I remember the good old days
Playing football in the mud filled park
Or fishing with a torch in the dark
Now I am not so bold
I fear for flu or cold
I am growing old
Both in age and heart
Quietly I get out of the bed
And peer through the windows
The rains are still going strong
I hope it doesn't continue for long
