Milky bright sky with rain in her net
Morning performance with native duet
Whip cracks and choo-choos crescendo in song
Spurring near aves to jolly along
The flightless young to pipe up and squawk
Easy like eagle or hoarse as the hawk!
Where cockatoos chase each other and chatter
Raindrops descend, and pitter-patter.

The large Starge
Is a large 500 gallon
Water tank that stands
16 feet high
It collects rain water
And it has a value
a one inch value
Neath the bottom
That is connected to
A turbine, which creates
Electricity and the pump
Sends the water from a
Holding tank back to
The water tank for storage.
I put a five hundred gallon
Plastic tank in the basement
And ran a pvc pipe up to
The laundry room
I attached a handpump to
The top I use it in the
Summer and winter to
Save energy.
We practiced the orchestra
Does over my house and
This saves money in the long
Run.

The snow wasn’t much
But the piles are high
And the corners are slushy and wet.
In the clean-up, the plows
Made it hard to get by
And that makes many people upset.
Still, it could have been worse;
Life is close to the norm
Yet there’ll always be those who complain
And I’m certain the next time
We’re hit with a storm
They’ll pipe up with their whining refrain.
