A Beloved Nursery Rhyme As Sky Ku

Rain, rain go away
Come again
On another day
Author's postscript: Any and all resemblance to the classic nursery rhyme Rain rain go away is entirely coincidental. Or is it entirely intentional? I will leave it up to you, the reader, to decide. Incidentally, like with many nursery rhymes the origin and meaning of this one is open for debate, but the most popular theory dates it back to the reign of Elizabeth I of England. The invasion of the Spanish Armada was, in part, defeated by the stormy weather (which scattered the Armada fleet). One version of the original "lyrics" are below:
Rain rain go away,
Come again another day.
Little Johnny wants to play;
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again!
Until today I thought the rhyme ended at the second line. Never heard the little Johnny and thing about Spain until I found it on the internet just now. Also, other versions can be found here along with a ton of info on its extremely boring origins.
