c ______Rain on the green grassRain on the treeRain on the housetopBut not on me.

d ______Some like it coldAnd some like it hotI like it in betweenCause extremes I like not.

e ______There are holes in the sky where the rain gets inBut they’re ever so small that’s why rain is thin. (Spike Milligan)
