Short Drouth Poems

Awake elements

Drouth wrapped in cyclical flow

Fire... Air... Water... Earth

A serpent saved Eve from a drouth
Medusa just opened her mouth
But snakes in her hair
How did they get their?
The Devil don't know North from South?...

From it flows waves of sweet charm
Sometimes it causes more harm
Keep that tongue in check
'Cause those words on deck
May set fire and be cause for alarm

Search east to west, north to south
Ere rainy season or drouth
One thing is for sure
There is a great cure, 
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth...

Calaveras' famous frog was astounding
In contests never beaten at bounding
But a gambler's ruse
In the frog did infuse
Lead shot that kept him a groundling

The con artist disappeared south
Froggy's owner poured shot from its mouth
His face fiery red
He examined the lead
That had made his wallet a drouth...

Haughty
naughty

dirty 
Murty,

small nose,
fat toes.

Girl lip
did whip

put down
cause frown.

Thought smart
dart dirt

insert
to hurt

bigfoot
hard put.

Frogmouth
big drouth

cake soap
for dope.

turns you to a repelling babbling exuberant.

Try to not gulp them dry in stigmatic drouth*,
for a fly does not enter a closed mouth.
