Thoughts On A Characteristically English August Bank Holiday

The rain it raineth in my brain
And outside too, upon the mud
I wonder will it ever drain
Or drown all life in a great flood
My sons are Japheth, Ham, and Shem
They've not one brolly between them
Before nightfall, when it grows dark
We had better board my ark
And take the animals two by two
We'll have ourselves a floating zoo
Oh look! There is an aerostat
Hovering o'er Mount Ararat
Time's out of joint, I got befuddled
I'm not Noah, I'm Key, empuddled
The rain it raineth in my brain
The rain it raineth, come rain or rain
