The rainy season in my country is quite an eventful time.It is usually from the month of May-October every year.It is a season when you see many shop owners close shop and relocate to the village to go work on their farmlands.It is a season when most employees take their yearly leave(vacation),so they can go work on their farms

The rains are here again.It is a time when children can play truancy from school so they can run about naked in the rain.As they tumble about on muddy ground,shouting and laughing without a care in the world.No teacher can reprimand or cane them for being absent from school;after all the rains are here again!

The rains are here again;cold lonely nights which is the dread of old maid and bachelor's are here again.Therefore,emergency love letters are written and delivered by little village children.In return,the children recieve pennies and biscuits for errands ran and everybody is happy.Love alliances are quickly formed after all,"It is not good that man should be alone!"
The rains are here again;new life is springing up all around.Trees,plants and shrubs,dried up and shrunken during the long harmattan season now recieve life-giving rain and spring back into life.
The rains are here again,the birds are chirping happily on tree branches,the dog is backing loudly in the backyard,the elderly who can no longer go to farm sit round charcoal stoves in mud kitchens to roast and eat dry corns from last year's harvest.
The rains are here again,corn plants spring up all over the village,and wave gently in the wind.Children look longingly at the tender corn plants,as they silently count the days in anticipation knowing in only 90days,they can sink their teeth into the soft,succulent sweet yellow corn.

The rains are here again;Maternity wards in hospitals are noisy and brimming with new-born babies because during rainy seasons,men endeavour to quickly settle marital altercations with their wives.Husbands treat their wives better and buy them colourful wrappers to make them happy during rainy season.Afterall,they need them to warm their beds at night.As a result,more babies are produced during the rainy season.
The rains are here again;it is different strokes for different folks...midwives and nurses are overworked and irritable;men who were too lazy to mend their leaky roofs during dry season look anxiously into the sky,praying it doesn't rain.While the hard-working farmer prays it rains cats and dogs,so his crops can grow fast and strong.Afterall,the rains are here again!
