"RAIN SHOWERS"
(By Earle Taylor, 15, of Petone.) When I sit alone I listen To the patter of the rain, And the windows start to glisten As the showers strike the pane. yrith its steady pit-a-patter, .' Or a tinkling spit-a-spatter, Then a drip-drip-drip-drip-drip! When the firelight skips and prances In long fingers, red and wide, I can hear the mystic dances . Of the falling rain outside. So I sit alone and wonder When I hear the raindrops fall; Oh, I like the mighty thixnder; But the rain is best of .all! It's a steady pit-a-patter, Or a tinkling spit-a-spatter— Then a drip-drip-drip-firip-drip!
