Doris Culverhouse Poet Couplet

When Floods Come Freely

When floods come freely will we know
to place a dam below and catch the overflow?

When eyes are dim and spotty
will we ring the potty?

I wonder....when skin begins to sag
will our minds begin to freeze and lag?

Or will we run across the creek
our long lost family to seek?

Will we laugh for laughters sake
Or will we bake a cake?

When floods come freely
and age creeps higher sneekily....
Will we friends seek?
