Rain -- a short, fun poem (beginner)

When I first arrived in Taiwan, 2 and a half months ago, it rained almost everyday! This poem describes how I felt when I woke up and saw that it was STILL raining! Please don't think that I feel rain is bad, actually, rain is a wonderful thing because it makes the plants grow and it gives us life :)

Rain
by Shel Silverstein

I opened my eyes and looked up at the rain,
and it dripped in my head and flowed into my brain,
and all that I hear as I lie in my bed Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.
I step very softly, I walk very slow, I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow, So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.
