The rain didn't come by
for one calendar year,
so when the man
with the sunflower seeds
in his had came near,
we sent him away.
The rain didn't come for twelve months more,
so when the man with the seed
catalogue darkened our door,
we sent him away.
I know your waiting for the ironic ending.
I know your waiting for the punch line.
I know your waiting for the rain to come by.
So am I.
