The Utility Pole at the End of the Rainbow
Rain, dreary rain all day, falling in sheets
(Or maybe in comforters and counterpanes)
The whole world shakes to the thunder’s wild beats
And water ponds in the green fields and lanes
But then at dusk the clouds part just right
Allowing the sun to make the sky fire-red
And in the east, a rainbow all alight
But behind a utility pole (it must be said)
The convention is gold at a rainbow’s end
But electricity too is a useful friend

Always doggerel and never catterel! Where is the justice for cats?
