WHY IT RAINS

by Erica Sollazzo

Sometimes the moon and the stars fight.
Sometimes they fight throughout the night.
The clouds get sad and cry 'til June.
The moon tells the clouds it will be over soon.
The clouds get happy and spread with joy.
They make a rainbow for girls and boys.
So if the moon and the stars don't ever fight.
We will never again have a rainy night.
