Raining in the Library

How on Earth can this possibly be?
It's raining in the Library.
How can this be happening?
Whoever heard of such a thing?
It shouldn't rain when you're indoors,
But in this Library it pours.
Now all the books they will be wet
And the readers will be so upset.
Who would have thought that you would be needing
An umbrella when you came in to do some reading?
I don't know how this is, to tell you the truth,
Maybe there's a hole in the roof.
I really, really can't explain,
Why in this Library it does rain.
Maybe it's my imagination.
Maybe that's the only explanation.
But until I'm sure the rain has stopped.
Under the table is the position I will adopt.

The Poet and the Kite

I have decided I would like to write,
A poem that’s about a kite.
About how it soars up in the Air
And makes the people stand and stare
At the majestic vision in the sky,
But anyone who’s seen me try
And fly a kite knows full well
This is not an accurate story I tell.
Because my kites they seldom soar
They normally drag upon the floor.
And no one stares at this display
They normally look the other way.
So I have decided that it is vital
For me to change the original title.
Which was “Majestic vision up above”
What could I have been thinking of?
A more accurate title would be,
“Why won’t this kite co-operate with me?”
