Notes About The Poem
The background noise is the sound of actual rain falling on my Patio roof

No More Rain-Tim Flannerys Prediction
No More Rain (Tim Flannerys Prediction)
by Robert (Bob) Moore
Tim woke up this morning, banged his head against the wall
I once told the people, “no more rain would fall”
so they built a desalination plant, to purify sea water
hope they don’t send me the bill, but I guess they really oughta
It has rained quite a bit since then, it’s raining here today
the ice caps are still melting, and some small islands washed away
but we will get a drought again, of that there is no doubt
and others like our Tim, will be chanting doomsday all about
I am not saying Man, has not stuffed up this Planet bad
but it’s been done so we could have, the life that we have had
but turning our lights on and off, will not fix the damage done
we need to make some solid plans, not windfarms and some sun
We need scientists to come together, make our energy all clean
not argue, and point the finger, about what’s already been
a workable solution, with conservation, starting first
and maybe build another dam, before the ones we have all burst
