And then, it rained...

Yes, yesterday,

I woke up old.

My face was long

The feet were cold.

I wore sandals

Instead of Chucks

Tried to call in

But I ran outta luck.

Work killed

Meetings blew

Wasted the day

Feeling blue.

At 5 o’clock

I made it home

For a second

Lighting shone.

And then it rained…

It rained, poured,

I splashed my feet

A kid again,

The water sweet.

My father sung

My mother danced

My toes in mud

Three dorks, enhanced.

The dogs hid

The neighbors thought

“What weird people-

Playing in that lot”.

I went inside

Dried my face

Feeling happy,

Back in place.

I woke yesterday,

Feeling very 27.

Then it rained,

And I was once again, 7.
