rain

drop

plip plop

the sound won’t stop

the shatter, the tatter

the cockamamie clatter

of the pounding and resounding

from the neverending falling

of drops on the roof

the sound won’t stop

plip plop drop

rain

drop

plip plop

the sound won’t stop

the ringing, the singing

the shining and the twinkling

of the little silver bells

from where no one can tell

as they clinker on the window

the sound won’t stop

plip plop drop
