Here is a compilation ABACA rondo for you all, courtesy of the Pacific Northwest.

A

Whether the weather be fine,

or whether the weather be hot,

we'll weather the weather,

whatever the weather,

whether we like it or not.

B

Pitter patter, pitter patter,

pitter patter plop.

Rain keeps falling on my head;

I wish that it would stop.

Repeat A section

C

Rain, rain, go away,

come again some other day.

Rain, rain, go away;

little children want to play.

Repeat A section

(Here's another familiar rain ditty I bet you all know:)

It's raining; it's pouring.

The old man is snoring.

He went to bed and bumped his head,

And he couldn't get up in the morning.
