Raining Cats and Dogs
A. Griffin

Hold on to your umbrella
when its raining cats and dogs,
because the ones who didn't
now have soggy fur
and muddy paws.

There are piles
of soaking clothing
where the changes
did take hold,
and Animal Control
can not handle
the overload.

So many little wet cats
and big waterlogged dogs,
that pre-downpour
were people,
heading to their boring jobs,

are having fun in the water,
enjoying it like they aughta',
and the chance
to get soaked with them
is one slippery offer.

But if you aren't averted
to becoming someone's pet,
close your umbrella,
open your coat,
and get wet.
I never tried it myself,
but growing fur feels nice,
I bet,

cause their new tails
always wag
like its the best time
they could have.

Kitty and doggie tongues,
may not be well equipped to speak,
but they seem to be laughing
as whiskers grow from their cheeks.

But even so,
you might prefer
to remain on two feet,
but good luck if you do -
the news predicts
a rainy week.

I'm sure it will all be fine,
as long as you stay inside,
so if you love having thumbs,
please be certain
to stay dry.
