- You are a trial I face every year
- You bring flocks of mosquitoes and flies
- Our church service and pray meetings become a mosquitoe feasting time
- The cost of food doubles or triples because of you
- We always battle sickness when you come around
- You turn our sandy desert roads into mud
- Taxis don’t like to drive us home when you flood our street
- You make everything in my house mold
- You and my oven work together to make the kitchen at times unbearable
- You make me sweat all day long and struggle to fall asleep at night
- Power cuts are increased by you
- You are the one time of year I enjoy my cold shower
- I am never sad to see you go
- You help me remember that this earth is thankfully not our home
- We trust God each year for the strength to endure through you

Whenever something bad would happen my mother used to say this: “If I had a big stick I’d spank it and say, “leave my baby alone”. I say that to the rainy yucky season and all the complications it brings into your life, “Rainy Season, if I had a big stick I’d spank you and say leave my friends alone!”
