Raining Cats and Dogs

As cats and dogs fall from the sky
it isn't easy to keep dry.
Caught in the thumping, thuding pain
of the meaowing, barking rain.

The pitter patter of their feet
at other times would be a treat,
but when they poke you in the eye,
it's times like these they make you cry.

The tears now streaming down your face,
the pitter patter speeds it's pace,
with pets now pouring from the sky
it's time to get inside... and dry!

The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

"Caught in the thumping, thuding pain
of the meaowing, barking rain".
I liked the "meaowing, barking rain"

what a fun poem to write, and for me to read with laugh.

Absolutely hilarious, a most enjoyable read. I just love the imagery and the humour. Thanks for sharing.

Living in Vancouver in Canada I can sure relate to this. Today especially. Well done!
