“…He maketh … rain on the just and on the unjust”-Matthew 5:45

but … I used to love to play in the rain as a kid!

He should’ve let him get inside first before unleashing the rain.

Beggars can’t be choosers

Be careful what you wish for?

@Wizard4168, “Let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day!”

“Into every life some rain must fall.”

That guardian angel is ‘all wet’!

Send the rain our way, please?

Puddleglum2: “Let a smile be your umbrella, and you’ll find you’re soaking wet.”

“Into each life some rain must fall.” “Every” gives it an extra syllable and it won’t scan. Even a filker needs to watch out for that.

♫♪♫♪Raindrops keep falling on my head…♫♪♫♪

♫♪♫♪Singing in the rain♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪It’s raining, it’s poring, the old man is snoring♫♪♫♪(Nice when you can copy the notes from a previous entry. It doesn’t work to copy from a past page and try to paste.)

When a drought broke in the 1960s, the local classical music station played only works including movements about water: Handel’s Water Music, Beethoven’s 7th (Pastoral) Symphony, Rossini’s Overture to William Tell, Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite, and a few more I don’t specifically remember.

Guardian Angel is welcome to my eyes anytime in this strip.BTW, great comments all those preceding mine.

@hippogriff,My quote from the song “Let a smile…” was meant figuratively. You applied it literally, but have you tried it? I suppose you do smile sometimes, since you have a sense of humor! :o)In “The Rainy Day” by Queen, the lyric is “But into every life a little rain must fall.”Longfellow’s poem has it as you quoted, which probably is the most often used quote, and would have been better, so you’re not ‘all wet’! There are slight variations in the similar quotes from other songs and poems, etc.
