I'm half hidden in foliage
          looking out over Bayou Lafourche
          the afternoon shower has stopped
          and the sky is still cloudy and gray.
Somewhere I hear the angry hiss
          of an alligator disturbing the quiet
          of after the shower's serenity
          perhaps its an old bull calling its mate,
The dripping of the rain on the leaves
          fall upon me, but it is no big thing
          I was already wet running from the rain.
Across the bayou I see a rainbow bright
          visions of gold at the end of it
          takes me back to my childhood memories
          to think I believed the tale was true.
As I walk back to The Hovel I have a thought
          I still believe gold will be mine someday
          though it is no rainbow I am banking on
          no, it's the Powerball and the Louisiana Lottery

I've been playing it for years, Lori. One of us has to come out a winner.

Ah, ha...that's a delightful unexpected twist to your Bayou meanderings inspired by the shower, and the expectations of gold at rainbow's end..
