Tropical rain

The call of the rain

The much awaited tropical rain

Pitter patter in large rain drops

A final squeeze from the dry tear duct

Welcomed to cleanse the land

Let all that whither stand

In concert with the windy rain

A welcome relief from the self-inflicted pain

Of dust clouds and coughs

And catarrh streaming down the cuff

Welcome the call of the rain

Now quiet, like its in vain

Or I hear the sound amiss

Is it so wrong to miss

The cold and goodly rain

That can wash away africa's pain?
