Read together

Here comes the rain, pitter-patter,
Time for school, let's not chatter!
Grab my ticket, my trusty five,
And my bright umbrella, I'll thrive!

Off I go to the cloakroom,
My suit's looking sharp, not a mushroom.
Hang it up with a sorry smile,
And head to class, ready for a while.

"Please take your seats," the teacher says,
And I'm grateful to be here, no less.
My number is five, that's my seat,
I settle in and rest my feet.

But wait, oh no, what did I do?
I left my cloakroom, how could I be so blue?
I raise my hand, "Sir, please forgive,
I'll go and grab it, I won't misgive."

The teacher nods and off I trot,
To get my coat, it's all I've got.
I return with a sorry face,
But now I'm back in my rightful place.

So let it rain, let it pour,
I'm ready for it, that's for sure.
With my umbrella and my suit,
I'll be safe and sound, resolute!
