The Fall Poem

I heard about a storm coming
More rain is what we are all wanting

California needs rain 
Like a dirty shirt needs a stain

We are doing better
Thanks to all the prayers

It shows that many people believe
And care

I have just been groovin’ this afternoon
Listening to my favorite tunes

As I was looking out my window
I heard someone shout “Bingo!”

A couple of friends
Are in the den

And I think it’s time for them to go

But I would never put them out
I enjoy the noise of laughter and shouts

I’ll just close the door as I ponder about
Going to the store

I could buy a few more Christmas lights
But shucks, how bright is bright?

I’ll take that thought off the list
And drink a shot of Canadian Mist
