THE RAINY DAY

As l lay on my bed 
fighting fever 
contracted the previous night, 
l spotted 
two lizards 
on the wall. 
They lay in wait 
to devour 
moths and insects, 
which come in hundreds 
round the lighted lamp, 
but after rains. 
And both have 
gulped down 
a large number. 
Perhaps 
in the hope of
saving something 
for the Rainy Day.
