My Maddening Monday!

Rain, rain, pouring down,

Making puddles on the ground.

Soon the puddles will get so large,

To get to school, we'll need a barge.

"I HATE the rain!" I scream out loud,

I hate the sky so full of cloud.

I hate that socks, and shoes will get soaked.

"Let's stay at home", the children joked.

"BUT MONDAY IS MY FAVOURITE DAY!"

... Except when rain gets in the way.

I considered keeping kids at home,

But I really need some time alone!!

So we caught the barge out to the car,

We all get in, though we don't travel far.

I curse other drivers, who stop where they please.

"Are you serious!?" I say "Just so your kids don't freeze!?"

Arrived at school, and the umbrella is stuck!

I may have said something rhyming with duck.

The kids hurried off, because the school bell just rang,

Then onto the next stop, we left with a bang.

For the entire weekend, I looked forward to today.

But now, I just want to wish it away.

I hate the rain! I seriously do.

And knowing our luck, we'll all soon have the flu.

Meanwhile at home, I now only feel bored.

Even though a "day to myself" I had scored.

I don't feel like cleaning, or even watching TV.

So screw you, rain! You wrecked my day for me.
