Let loose the flood gates

My muse is working overtime,
Though nothing comes but rhyme,
I ain't got no reason,
But to hate this particular season,
As it is raining like kitties and puppys,
We would all be better off if we were,
Something along the line of guppies...


Poem Artwork

Let loose the flood gates…


 


Is it a message from God?


Did the almighty get insulted?


Or is ole’ mom Nature cleaning?


Or did someone think I needed a shower…? J


 


Whichever way it came, NJ is being inundated,


Light rain, moderate rain, and now heavy rain,


I even took out soap when I went for a walk,


Hope the neighbors understand and don’t talk…J


 


Saving water I started at my head,


Worked my way to my feet, though it was cold,


I bet you think that I was herein altogether bold,


Yes those neighbors may balk,


But by tomorrow, to them, I will smell like a rose…(stalk) J


 


We have had little rain; we supposedly have here a deficit,


Maybe in reality or not, the angels all had at once to spit,


But if I sink in the mud underneath my home,


I will and you can surely bet, sue the gods and file it most legit…
