Rain is powerful. No, I'm not talking about some flavor of gum or electrolyte-enhanced sport beverage or men's body spray. I'm talking about clean, pure, slightly acidified rain that falls from above. On everything. Outside.
"Rain is influential" might have been a better way to put it. Rain made some guy (or gal, I dunno) write a cheerful tune with lyrics you may recognize:
"Rain, rain, go away/come again another day/[insert name here]'s friends all want to play/rain rain go away"
I'm kinda making up the third and fourth line in the sense that I'm not sure if those are indeed the right lyrics, but I know the first two lines are correct. Correct? Yes. Logical? Not yes.
I have always been curious ("always" meaning "since some point in time a while ago that I fail to remember") as to why the words "come again another day" are in the song.
Singing this cheerful tune implies this: The singer does not want it to be raining. Why? I think "rain, rain go away" makes it pretty clear why. So is the singer bipolar? Why does he or she want the rain to go away and yet wants it to come back again another day (besides today)?
Some may answer me in saying "The plants needs rain. Duh!" and to them I say "Touché...BUT! Let me ask you this: "
When the rain comes again "another day", what will one do? Sing the "Rain Go Away" song, right? (I realize the person may not mind it raining that particular "another day" on which the rain "[came] again", but even so, how often does that realistically happen? It's seen as a "very necessary evil" in the sense that we obviously would die without rain, but we don't want it "raining on our parade". Ya heard of that saying?) In this second singing of the song, the singer would express their desire for the rain which "[came] again another day" to "come again another day". This rain obviously won't relent and come again on "another day", because when the rain comes on that "another day", the singer will just selfishly want it to come on a different day!
This madness confuses logicians (a word I made up meaning "people who study logic") worldwide, in addition to filling children's minds with evil vile lies about what we really want when it is raining.
Therefore, I propose this new version of the popular song:
"Rain, rain, go away/come when I don't want to play/the plants can drink some other day/that's when you should fall, okay?"
