Singing in the Rain

There they were, Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor. Their yellow slickers filling the screen .... "Singing in the rain, just singing in the rain, what a wonderful feeling" ..... the darken theater enhanced the mood .... "I'm happy again. The suns up above" ..... eyelids slid closed, thoughts drift to him. Was he right? How could he possibly know? He's not that attuned; o.k., smart. Oh, lawrd .... the pain ... THE PAIN! Funny when you're being wheeled on a gurney through halls of lights and doors open and close ... alone ... then all those people in white ... where is he? ... counting backwards ... Mother always said, "April Showers bring May flowers" .... baby shower, April 12th; born May 15th, Rose.

    Oh, so very clever, this! So where was he? And don't tell me he was in a bar somewhere, waiting for the rain to stop!

    Very good job ! I was right there with her and wondering too. Vivid picture you painted here. Reminded me of a few times I was wheeled down hospital halls in pain. Loved that you used one of my favorite movies as inspiration too !!!
