Water Everywhere

Water Everywhere A dam burst in Iraq and that`s how it began it rained for months and no one had thought of building a Noah’s ark fill it with pigs to feast on when Christmas came around but there would be too many objections from practising Jews, vegans, not forgetting Muslims and the two Semitic people`s family would squabble as they have done for centuries and the vegan`s would eat seagrass. When Himalaya was a reef sailors on ships had eaten each other sardines, a metre and twenty long, danced in The Radio Music Hall a shimmering synchronised display entertaining dolphins; and the Wall Street was a hangout for hammer- head sharks as were the way of the pre-flooding days. Finally, the water ebbed enough for the only man left to go ashore on the reef and dry his feet, burning his raft, smoke a cigarette and wondering, what happened to the blue whales.
