Soft Ball Rain

          Lightning strikes once
                               Twice
                                  Three times in the out field
               As the shivering grandstand grass and gallery flowers
                    Wave sticker seed banners
                         And petal placards
                    For the game to go on

          The "Clouds" are battering the home team
                         A million drops to none
               But all hope
                         At least for another raining
               The game isn't sunned out
