Stormy Weather

You can tell a lot of things about a person
By whether they were ready for the rain
And then, when that rainfall begins to worsen
How they react to that peculiar strain.
Were they prepared already with their coat
Triply-forged proof against the drizzly threat?
Or was their dressing done by simple rote
And everything about them hangs all wet?
Or were they in the mediocre range
Between the two extremes, umbrella-clad
Or rain-resistant, uttering new strange
Curses when the thunderstorm gets bad?
Each of these is a type: but these types hide
The wisest sort, that watch it from inside.
