It's All About Perspective

Prompt: Must use the line somewhere in the poem. I went a step further, and used it in descending order in each stanza (ie, line 1 in stanza 1, line 2 in stanza 2, etc.)

It's All About Perspective

By Indelibleink


Heavy rain drops plop and splash,
S'pose I can't take out the trash.
Waiting for the the sun to shine,
Now, what job is next in line?

Bought some paint and spent some cash,
Heavy rain drops plop and splash.
Mother Nature sent me inside,
Painting-the-house thoughts have died.

Now, I guess I'll wash the car,
You may have guessed - didn't get far.
Heavy rain drops plop and splash,
"Turtle Wax" plans are dashed.

Brought out the clubs; will play nine,
Rain? So What? Things will be fine.
It's not like rain will cause a rash,
Heavy rain drops plop and splash.

Told my wife I really tried.
She's locked me out - can't get inside.
Said that I've become a real pain,
Something about "Water on the brain!
