I like to smoke in the rain,
Outside when the weather turns gray.
Safe beside my umbrella cane,
Sound from the pouring day.
__________
Cool winds rushing through hushed streets,
Are not there for me, I know.
Nevertheless they meet and greet,
The warmth of my cigar's glow.
__________
Seldom come more peaceful times,
To let our worries explain,
Sadness in a way sublime.
I like to smoke in the rain.
