Forecast

There's rain in the forecast
Days of Rain
Greying my verdant spring
Violent storms are expected
So be ready for damage

The atmosphere is just chilly enough
To produce golf size hail
Be wary of pound--pound---pounding
On shelter's roof and walls
Some damage is irreparable

Flash Flood watch is in effect
Expect all low spots to be flooded
In the resultant deluge
Emergency personnel may be delayed
With other calls at the time

It is advised that you prepare in advance
Store extra batteries and lanterns--food and water
Then take that beautiful glass heart
from your windows lest it be smashed
A storm warning is now in effect.
