"The ravens are right as always again / The parrots fall silent ...as falls the rain"

Transcendental Sonnet #1216:

...As Falls the Rain

 

Green parrots are squawking

In congress converging

Wet people out walking

Look up at their urging

And see there's a break in the rain

Until the next drenching again

 

The ravens are quiet

They know rain's returning

Offended by riot

Their black eyes are burning

At what they see as avian stupidity

They hate the parrots and all their cupidity

 

The ravens are right as always again

The parrots fall silent  ...as falls the rain

Can't say I could argue with that logic. No matter how you frown, rain always comes down. Best to let it have its say, and let peace hold sway.
