The Awesome Race

Fri, 06/26/2015 - 18:51 -- ZBryant

The pitter patter of the rain

The crushing sound of thunder 
The hopes of playing out today
Are all but just a wonder
 
Look out the window and all you see
Is a day away from summer
"Sit and read" your mother says
But you know that's a bummer
 
So you watch the droplets of the rain
Run down the window pane
While you sit inside this evil box
Struggling to keep sane
 
Two rain drops run down the glass 
One behind the other
You name one Fred and one Erika
As they start to race one another
 
You put your money on Erika
Because girls are really cool
But Fred goes past her really fast
Yelling that she's been schooled 
 
The race is coming to a close 
With anticipation high
The only thing you can do now
Is start praying towards the sky 
 
As if God himself had heard you then
Your droplet starts to zoom
Erika lands before dumb Fred
Ending with a boom
 
Erika finally beats Fred
Making your day blossom 
You sit and think to yourself 
"Now that was kinda awesome."
