RAIN, RAIN

Of course, it was raining.

When she sent me for

The mail. I had old clothes

On and threw on a rain

Jacket and took off on my

Bike. Cars were traveling

On the same road and

One didn’t see me until

The last moment and

When he braked, he

Skidded off the blacktop

And ran into a tree. I had

To stop to see if he was

Okay. It turned out that

He was, and he said he

Was sorry that he wasn’t

More careful. He thanked

Me for stopping and then

Backed up right over my

Bike that I had laid down

Before running to see about

His condition. He took me

To the post office and then

Home. He said he would

Have my bike repaired. By

Then the rain had stopped.
