More Rhyming Trouble

By way of a diversion from the busy life I lead,
I sit outside on summer days and have a pleasant read;
But when the sunshine disappears and clouds begin to lower,
I run indoors in expectation of a heavy shower.

Sometimes the sky is overcast and ponderous as lead,
So lengthy rainstorms are a prospect one can take as read.
I often hold a party when the temperature is lower,
And all my friends are glad to come, except the odd no-shower.
