Back in the homeschool classroom: The rain rain rain came down down down

Ah, Winnie-the-Pooh ... silly old bear! The Shenandoah Valley has seen rain for practically the past 24 hours so it brought to mind the rainy day song from "Winnie-the-Pooh and the Blustery Day." In the homeschool classroom, this was one of my kids' favorites.

The rain rain rain came down down down

The rain rain rain came down down down
In rushing, rising riv'lets,
'Til the river crept out of it's bed
And crept right into Piglet's!
Poor Piglet, he was frightened,
With quite a rightful fright.
And so, in desperation
A message he did write.
He placed it in a bottle
And it floated out of sight.

And the rain rain rain came down down down
So Piglet started bailing.
He was unaware, atop his chair,
While bailing he was sailing!

And the rain rain rain came down down down
And the flood rose up up upper.
Pooh, too, was caught and so he thought,
"I must rescue my supper!"
Ten honey pots he rescued,
Enough to see him through,
But as he sopped up his supper,
The river sopped up Pooh!
And the water twirled and tossed him
In a honey pot canoe!
The rain rain rain came down down down...
