A Rainy Day Spell from Mother Goose

While some nursery rhymes and poems are noodle-scratchers that puzzle us and beg to be deciphered ... this one speaks plain and simple.  Or does it?
​

---

A spell to charm away the rain:

1st:   The wish is clearly stated, "Rain, rain, go away;"
2nd:  To ensure no curse or unwanted consequence, a
           caveat is placed, "Come again another day;"
3rd:    The emotional charge/feeling needed to put heart
            into the spell is evident - "Little Johnny wants to play."

The whole thing rhymes, is easy to remember and 3's the charm in the amount of lines, intentions ... and ducklings.
