Parody Poem

Longing For Sun : A Parody of April Rain Song by Langston Hughes

Let the rain drench you
Let the rain prevent you from playing outdoors
Let the rain rattle annoyingly through the gutter
The rain lands in your eyes as you walk
The rain drips down foggy car windshields
The rain wakes people from the safety of sleep
And I despise the rain.


April Rain Song by Langston Hughes

Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
