Dear Rain

Please come back to Southern California

It seemes like you were only here a short time

Like you didn't really like us and visited just to be polite

I get it, we haven't been the kindest hosts

They say that you are gloomy and sad

You have to admit, sometimes you do come off as a downer

People seem to have an infatuation with clear skys and warm sunny days

Just between you and me, I think those are over rated 

You take a sad dry day, and make it something special

You take the hot dusty streets, and make them shiny and new

Californians see you as a nuisance, that is until drought strikes

Then suddenly, we beg for you to come back

Only to shoo you away again when the job is done

I won't shoo you away

You are welcome here anytime
