The West
Rains a lot where I live TODAY.
Moved here some nineteen weeks AGO.
This farm land of beans, corn, and HAY,
Through which the Mississippi FLOWS.
HOSPITABLE.
REALITY.
Moved from where there's a little RAIN.
Yes, nineteen weeks ago it WAS.
The growers there keep the world SANE.
Low rain falls for the good it DOES.*
The many DROUGHTS;
And so few DOUBTS.
