WEATHER!

If it .isn't blowing great big guns and sink'ing .ships at sea, And flinging tiles about and trees uprooting i If it isn't choking us with fog and giviDg you. and me A two hours' run from Kensington to Tooting ; If snow in town and country isn't lying two feet deep, And yc.j. think the Polar weather may be waning, If it lisn't doing some of these both while you wake and sleepWell—it's raining I t If it isn't freezing water-taps and giving you the "flu.," And dropping the thermometer to zero ; If it isn't in the shade, a trifle over ninety-two, Till you might be "'under fire" like any hero ; If it isn't boiling, baking hot, or isn't beastly cold, And you hope to get a rest from your complaining ; If ityisn't doing one of these, you're certain to be told That—it's raining ! If it isn't killing you with cold oi> stifling you with heat, If it isn't breeding midges by the million ; If it. isn't blistering '■ your nose or chilblaining your feet Till with pain you want to -dance a wild cotillion ; t ._ If it isn't spoiling fruit and flowers with fusillades of hail, Or giving you the samples still remaining ; If it isn't —- Where's my mackintosh ? Of course, the same old tale; . Sir—it's rain:n' !" ;
