Rain On The Roof
What will you do ,
If the rain storms in,
Stomps on your front gallery,
In the middle of a bright sunny day,
And shoves you indoors,
There with your best bud?
Ask him to make us some eggs.
Why not,
There's something about rain,
Maybe the sound of it on your roof,
That insights a palatable hunger.

I do love the sound of the rain! Especially in the middle of the night. I like the question of what to do, with such a simple answer with "Why not."

Some sounds of rain is a delight... but if you are inside it is better than if you are forced to go out.

I love heavy rain, especially when about to go to sleep, and yes it does give one an empty stomach too. I usually bake then...

Maybe it is this; getting a distance to it. I think. A cup of tea ... // Nicely penned, your poem is. "Palatable hunger" ... 😌
