Valerie Adores the Rain

Valerie adores the rain.
  She won't pull up her hood.
She's catalogued the hurricanes
  Her hair style has withstood.

Her head expands when it gets wet.
  Her brain begins to flower.
She feels the unrelenting rain
  Increasing her brain power.

And she'll discover startling facts
  That light up in her mind.
Facts about the lives of plants
  Are things she loves to find.

She'll marvel at the knowledge that
  She never knew she knew,
Like how to instigate a flawed
  Exhilarating coup.
