Saving You For A Rainy Day

I'm saving you
For a rainy day—
Dropping sweet memories,
One by one
Into the slit of my big pink piggy
While smiling a wistful smile.
The copper clanks tinny,
But their repercussions
Precipitate heavy and valuable.
They enter my heart with a solid thud.
And don't worry.
It won't be long.
The clouds are gathering as we speak.
And right now, there's a forty percent chance of rain.
