Rainy Days

It starts as a small pitter patter on the sand, creating tiny dips between the grains.  But soon the beach is a muddy pool, bare of beach towels and umbrellas. The downpour slows down, the sky filling with hope. But the drizzle continues, keeping the sand damp and the people away.  What happened to the promise of sunny skies and days lounging by the sea? Instead of spending a day relaxing beneath an umbrella, the day was spent indoors, with nothing to do but sing, "rain, rain, go away, come again another day, little Johnny wants to play, rain, rain, go away."
