CAN'T BEAT THE RAIN -- by Steve Nadis
The optimism of a three-year-old must be tempered against the harsh realities of meteorological fact. Despite the hope expressed yesterday, most exuberantly, by my daughter of "beating the rain," it came down hard today and we were unable to "beat it" on the way to school this morning, nor on the way back. I had been riding high yesterday, swept away by the power of her fantasy. But after a getting soaked in several downpours today, I was forced to admit that nature has its own ways that are not subject to the wills of humans-even when those wills belong to an especially willful child.
SO WHAT
just remember
that old song and burst out loud
on the way home :
I 'M SINGIN IN THE RAIN
JUST SINGIN IN THE RAIN.
if ya cant beat'em
...join 'em
