Rain Again

It has rained again;
Now is a good time
To can all the fruits
Of the many vines.

Tomorrow’s picking
Will be bigger yet,
Now that the soil
Has gotten so wet.

Weeds will poke up
Their intrusive heads;
The only good weeds
Are those that are dead.

We will weed and pick,
And come home with more
Fresh vegetables
To cook -- and to store.
