Oh when will the rain ever wane?
One would think that God would abstain
from taking a tinkle.
I’ll bet that’s a new wrinkle!
Until the water goes down the drain!

Will it ever stop raining, you ask?
As if I could the weather unmask.
If Ogden were here, he
Would answer your query
“Do I look like a weather forecask?”

Mine is here:

FACING THE FLOOD – A SUMMERTIME MEMORY

I inverted the first limerick, using your line as the closer. Seemed to fit. ;-)

Oh, when will your rain ever wane?
When we die, when we wither in pain!
Your paint mightn’t dry,
But we sit here and fry,
While you sop and you bitch and complain.

Oh, when will the rain ever wane?
Though resignation we may often feign
Here in Portland, Oregon
We still crave the sun
Lest Vitamin D deficiencies reign.

Oh when will the rain ever wane?
As a dog, thunderstorms I disdain!
In such elements I must pee…
It’s disgusting, you’ll agree!
I wish dogs could be litterbox trained!

Oh, when will the rain ever wane?
I always hear people complain
When the sun comes out shining
We’ll all start our chiming
“Oh when will we see some more rain!”

Portland roses bloom
From tear drops of heaven’s gloom.
Rhodies also loom.
