Rain...
I've got rain on my hotdog -
(And my fingers are getting wet...)
I've got rain mixed with ketchup -
(It's making me upset!)
Rain on my glasses -
(My vision is getting blurry...)
Rain falling everywhere -
(And my hotdog's getting soggy!)
* * *
I pulled my collar higher
as I felt the wind blow colder...
I was about to complain
about the maddening rain,
When I realised...
* * *
I've got snow on my hotdog!
(So I pull on my woolen mittens)
I've got snow mixed with ketchup,
(And my hotdog just got frozen!)
