don't you love the rain

i hear it while i'm sleeping

and it only awakens me occasionally.

i won't roll around looking to see it,

but when it's coming down

 i love the morning rain;

best is when i hear

the tapping drops. 

 

election tension

i must wait, see what.

can't have all the votes going my way.

it's unlikely, who'd believe it ?

anyway, it scares me so tension clings to me, 

wading deep with each news report. 

 reading the book in an easy chair, seems

the way to take it, with a page marker

plus time out for a nap and a coffee.
