L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

Waterproofing

Wearisome weatherman
     Wears watertight wedgies
          With wide well-worn webbing
               When wading wherever
                    Warming water washes
                         Waterborne wastepaper
                              Wandering whereabouts.
