Red Hurts

It's much easier to lose a cloud than find one, and this is because, as a cumulus humilis floats by, you can easily watch it thin out, and vanish; however, the opposite is not true, and this is because, when watching for a cloud to appear, you have no idea what part of the sky to keep your eye on. Later, and this evening, one of the seekers of truth at our secret meeting said, "It's nice to have the rain." No one said anything. Pip, pip, pip, pip, pip. We could hear the drops on the skylight.
