Torrential Rain

Hubble bubble toil and trouble I have water on the brain The continuous flooding It is driving us all insane Rivers are overflowing So are dams and creeks Farmers are not sowing And losing their cattle and sheep, Streets have turned into rivers Caused by torrential rain The stress causes shivers As it starts to pour again Trees are uprooting And crashing, causing harm Dingy and boats are scooting To stranded homes and farms Vehicles and cars are left on the road, Waiting for the rain to stop, So they can be towed To dry land, when they can find a spot, Houses no longer liveable It is unforgivable Nature in the raw What has this happened for? Can somebody explain? It has caused too much consternation, Financial worries, ills and pain.

... And in the West, continuous drought and wildfires... Come to Illinois, to Chicago: All we have here is continuous murder, rape, and armed robbery. lol. ~ Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue, and so are too many people in the world that don't deserve to be. Somebody is very angry, that's for sure, Gershon.
