He should’ve let him get inside first before unleashing the rain.

Puddleglum2: “Let a smile be your umbrella, and you’ll find you’re soaking wet.”
“Into each life some rain must fall.” “Every” gives it an extra syllable and it won’t scan. Even a filker needs to watch out for that.

When a drought broke in the 1960s, the local classical music station played only works including movements about water: Handel’s Water Music, Beethoven’s 7th (Pastoral) Symphony, Rossini’s Overture to William Tell, Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite, and a few more I don’t specifically remember.

@hippogriff,My quote from the song “Let a smile…” was meant figuratively. You applied it literally, but have you tried it? I suppose you do smile sometimes, since you have a sense of humor! :o)In “The Rainy Day” by Queen, the lyric is “But into every life a little rain must fall.”Longfellow’s poem has it as you quoted, which probably is the most often used quote, and would have been better, so you’re not ‘all wet’! There are slight variations in the similar quotes from other songs and poems, etc.
