Thunderplump
A plippy day,
A ploppy day!
A splishy,
splashy,
sploshy day.
A brolly day,
A braw wet day!
A drizzly
drippy,
droppy day.
Waterproofs and Wellingtons,
puddles to your knees.
A day for mud pie messiness.
Sheltering under trees.
A ploppy day!
A splishy,
splashy,
sploshy day.
A brolly day,
A braw wet day!
A drizzly
drippy,
droppy day.
Waterproofs and Wellingtons,
puddles to your knees.
A day for mud pie messiness.
Sheltering under trees.
