Doubting Thomas' Dismal Day Dilemma

On this morning Thomas awoke Ready to take on a forecast predicting he would get soaked Still doubting thinking meteorology was a joke Headed outside Winds blowing no lie Running back under covers Twenty four hours washed out waiting for another Throughout the rainy day Wondering if everything was okay “I have nothing to say” Doubting Thomas peeked out to skies angry and grey But for a second a glimmer of sun Storm must be done Opened the door And there was good old Danny on his stage floor “We are in the eye Bad weather has not said good bye Could you spare a nickel and dime? For the information I told you on my mind” Securing all his shutters Doubting Thomas prayed to the Holy Mother Hoping this will end Leaving the destructive mess to mend Bed is the place to be Tomorrow work to pick up the debris Due to Dan Monitoring his five and dime climate stand Doubting Thomas was not in a life threatening jam Only to hear the message ‘stay at home’ ‘All alone’ ‘Sit by the phone’ ‘For the call That is all’ This was an honest warning Informing Reporting that water is pouring Instead of ignoring About this time that was not boring Since Thomas must Prepare to fix damage from the element’s fuss Without any cuss Replacing it with community trust It is a lesson in concern Knowledge stand firm For others not to get burned Getting caught in a situation Where they are facing Natural trouble Distant from their corporate bubble
