Did you hear that?

i sit at my kitchen table as it rains
~patta patta patta patta~
i listen to the drops, as if the clouds were having a talk
~tap!tap!tap!tap!~
my mother turns on the stove, and tea begins
~Awooooo~
a ghostly but soft howl is heard outside i look about suprised
~did you hear that?~
ii ask my mother as she reads her book and gives a simple answer
~yes~
no longer bothered i return to the clouds chatter
~patta patta patta patta~
