Rain

I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain, And it dripped in my head And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly, I walk very slow,

I can't do a handstand-- I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head. Shel Silverstein
