"Tin Roof"
by Laura Strother, Severna Park

I love the sound that rain makes on a roof.
when i buy my own house i want the roof to be tin,
so that the pitter patter of the drops will echo when they hit.
I am infatuated with storms, and i love rainy days.
while all the other kids are bummed out, praying for more clouds.

Electricity,
i love to sit and watch a storm,
with my window open and the storm coming in,
the lightening and thunder make an awesome pair.
When i grow up i want a roof of tin,
so the pitter patter of rain will echo longer...
