The Rain in Birmingham

Annoying and irritating

too bad its pouring

watery and slippery

my glasses go blurry


the rain comes without any sign

on a day that looks fine

with wind hitting me in my face

I get pushed forward at a fast pace


and then I just miss my bus

cud things get any worse

I get another and find a seat

oh dear its too wet to comfortably sit


I then get off at my stop

a woman ahead has her umbrella on the top

not a very good idea in the wind and rain

and upside down it goes until she has to strain


she moves to one side and den another

her umbrella being a very big bother

I laugh looking at her and next thing I know

my own umbrella begins to play up and I have to hold it low


I nearly walk into people

which is obviously alot of trouble

but theres nothing much that I can do

otherwise my own umbrella will be a funny U


so feeling frustrated at last

I put away my umbrella very fast

but as easy as it sounds it is not

its as if me and my umbrella had fought


in the end I finally win

and my umbrella is destined for the bin

for I try too hard to force it shut

and it breaks from the middle, and im holding it like a nut


feeling a little embarassed over the last second

I see an umbrella on the footpath and I reckon

its not only me having a rough time in the rain

its not an indian movie, we're not dancing on a train


but as I get near my home

I forget the rain and where it came from

for im busy looking at a beautiful rainbow

with nimbus clouds around it hanging very low


so although I still stand by the fact

that experiencing rain in birmingham is not a very fascinating act

a rainbow once in a while makes me stand in that very rain

and forget the tantrums I have of making rain a pain :)
