When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles
Pooh Bear
Tap, Tap, Tap
Goes the child against the door
Drip, Drip, Drip
Raindrops roll from coat to floor
Wag, Wag, Wag
Tail of the eager dog
Great, big, sigh
This is going to be a slog
Please, please, please
Says the one who can barely talk,
Even in this weather?
Looks like we’re going for a walk
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
Goes the Invasive wind
Splash, splash, splash
The child and dog grin
Thud, thud, thud
Throbs my beating heart
Smile, smile, smile
Happiness is an art.
Regardless of the weather and whether you’ve been home all day or just walked in, a walk is always welcome in our house, especially a walk with puddles. My little guy and the four-legged old lady both conquered the puppy dog eyes long ago. They have no regard for an imposition the wet walk may cause. However, often those two know better and after we’re home dried and snuggled back under a blanket, I too must succumb to the notion that the walk was a good idea.
