Typewriter Rodeo: What To Do On A Rainy Day

Each week, the Standard reaches out to Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem on Texas topics.

When it’s raining outside, adults look for indoor activities. Kids though… What if, the next time the skies get dark and the clouds open, we behaved a little more like kids?

What To Do On A Rainy Day

Oh perhaps we’ll watch

That Netflix show

The one saved in our queue

Ages ago

 

Or we could dust off the games —

Sorry, Parcheesi

Maybe even play Risk

If we don’t want it too easy.

 

How about that drawer

Filled with paints and brushes?

We could do a watercolor

Make that outside look luscious

 

Thirsty? Hungry?

We’re all stocked up

Let’s bake a pizza

Put some soup in that cup

 

So many indoor ideas

You could think of more, I bet

But we’ve been dry all summer —

Let’s go out and get wet!
