After the Rain
Oh! it's so good to mess about in a puddle.
A quiet moment and the water does ripple.
Here are we; all of a huddle.
I think I'll have a water tipple.
The water like silk; to bathe in.
Cascading droplets, riverleting away.
How wonderfull to become soakin'.
All to defeat the heat of the day.
Droplets of water; sailing through the air.
I'll perform a little dance there.
Riverletts of replenishing water; bourne by the air.
Stamping furiously in the water, I dare.
Deftly, I unfold my feathers.
Making sure all are washed.
Frothing the water. it lathers.
Dancing defiantly, not at all abashed.
