Fa lop, fa lop summer
Rain lazy as it falls
Landing on outdoor walls
Singing its song
As it falls harder still
A steady drumming sound
Calls to the thirsty ground
Here, have a drink

A summer lightning bolt
Announcing the thunder
Quick, take cover under
Nearby shelter
And as the rain does fall
In puddles all around
Happy the grateful ground
To have a drink

Summer skies open wide
Rain bouncing off the leaves
Feeding roots of the trees
Bird wait it out

Summer rain downpour
Flower petals dropping off
Runnels overflow

Rain gently falling
Birds and squirrels deep in trees
Wind plays with the drops
