Rain, rain go away!

An apropos verse could be sung

In Southern California:

” It never rains in California,

but girl don't they warn ya.

It pours, man it pours.” Al Hammond

Never envisioned this downpour

When he first sang his top ten hit

Back in nineteen seventy two.

Today the poor folks living there

Are being inundated with

Over a year’s worth of wet stuff

Since the sixteenth of December.

Hang in there Californians

There will be dryer tomorrows.
