Once it rained on us, soaking us thoroughly in a graveyard.  We
laughed a lot then.

Once it rained toads, surprising us in the barren New Hampshire
woods.  You felt vindicated and I felt out of my element.

Once it rained hot yellow drops, spawning years of goat-sucking
jokes.  Our humor was so obtuse.

Once it rained only in our minds.  Thinking about sleeping bags.

Once it rained cows, forcing us to nervously share my motel room.
No gazing on that chaste night.

Once it rained and rained and rained, trapping us in a hurricane.
The only time we both witnessed a baby join the world.

Once it rained rugs, giving the finder a chance to specify.  What
did you wish for, I still often wonder.

Once it rained tears, revealing myself to only a baby's curious
eyes.  No more rain until I see you again.
