Oh rain, you're such a tease!

Summer, winter, monsoon – I call it powerplay in degrees

Even the gods of perfect weather are indulging in this breeze

My heart yearns for a drive, my eyes fixed upon my keys

Calling out to me are garam garam chai and some cheap Chinese

Sitting at the window, I pretend I’m by the seas

In the manic shower of icy raindrops I want to freeze

Splashing dirty puddles, seeking shelter under trees

Something about the rain strangely puts me at ease

The nip in the air suggests something about birds and bees

Stay under the sheets, maybe steal a few extra Zs

It’s impossible to beat these blues, no cure for this disease

A bottle of vino to top it off, maybe marry it with some cheese

But the things you do to traffic has me begging on my knees

Why have you held me hostage? Oh rain you’re such a tease!!
