The gentleman said

Now the gentleman said, 
we're going to have rain
three times in the next two days. 

And I marveled how wise, 
specifically, he was to predict 
to such fine degree. 

"It's because," he said "I've seen 
rain. And these," as he eyed the sky,

he said "Are the signs." As it turned,
he was right. Three times. But he 
forgot to predict all the sun between.

Which was what struck me.
