After the Fire the Rain Came

After the fire the rain did come?  Or should it be after the fire it rained?  Or should it be after the fire the rain came?  I like after the fire the rain came the best and so that is what I will use.

After the fire the rain came and not a single ember was left.  I was trying to roast marshmallows to make s’mores but just as the coals were perfect for roasting the darn rain destroyed the whole idea.  My mouth was watering thinking of the giant sized marshmallow perfectly toasted, brownish on the outside but white and gooey on the inside smushed and covered with a Hershey bar between two graham crackers.  I hated not to have this treat and so took all the fixings into the cabin.  I put the marshmallows in a bowl in the microwave and stirred every few seconds until they were melted.  Then I put Hershey bars on top of the mound of sticky marshmallow and micro waved a few more seconds.  I took it out and mixed the whole mess together and spread it on a graham cracker.  I named this delicious new concoction micro mores.  Then I ate another.
