Rainy Day Shadow

What does Shadow do on a rainy day,
a day so dreary that she can't go out to play?


With clouds that threaten to release their surprise, and
Skies much gloomier than the saddest surmise.


With thunder clapping louder than cymbals, and
Lightening flashing its bright blue fright.






Does she sulk and mope?  Nope, indeed she does not.
She plays hide and seek with her favorite stuffy named
Ratty, and
Turns one biscuit into taffy, to last throughout the day.


Then curls up into a ball and dreams of 
Fluttering butterflies with glittering wings.


Until the morning when she awakens to see the 
Sun's sassy wink, then with a
Hop and a lick, she gets her wish -


For just as she goes out to play,
a butterfly with glittering wings 
lands on her nose and makes her day.
