I'm not saying David's blue <br />I'll leave that thought up to you <br />This is just a tale of Dodgy Dave <br />and how it seems to rain on his parade <br /> <br />You see many years ago starts the tale here <br />On a day that was oh so clear <br />Not a dropp of rain in sight <br />But listen to Dodgy Dave's plight <br /> <br />It had rained the day before <br />and David was waiting at the bus shelter door <br />Now this bus shelter's roof is flat <br />and this is where a big rain puddle sat <br /> <br />A gust of wind came along <br />which lent too David's sad song <br />Water whipped off the shelter and all over Dave <br />As if he was just hit by a tidal wave <br /> <br />His suit now soaked to the skin <br />Up pulls the bus much too David's chagrin <br />The bus driver steps out to check the blue sky <br />Which just left the bus driver mystified <br /> <br />David explained it's just me <br />It follows me where ever I go you see <br />A dark rain cloud that follows Dave <br />Always raining on his parade <br /> <br />So that's how Dodgy Dave grew to be so tall <br />It waters the manure is his boots....that's all <br />We all knew it wasn't because he had to sing for his supper <br />It's the rain in his boots that makes him 6ft and upper<br /><br />JoJo Bean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dodgy-dave-tale-it-rains-on-his-parade-revised/
