Mar 2015
it isn't snow
it isn't snow
it isn't snow,
but it is so wet,
not the wettest winter yet,
but you can't call this winter,
April showers started in October,
oh we had some sun
oh we had some sun
oh we had fun,
little time $spent$ on the $slopes$
one part of tourism had to cope,

with weather patterns, that
go in seventeen year cycles or fifty one
year bunches, no pulling punches,
but who makes this stuff up?
the drought will follow
water restrictions to swallow,
will there nary a drop of water to drink?

I have a cow bank, white and black sitting
empty
on my desk, by my elbow, waiting to be
filled with, all my savings for a rainy day
spent, for as the saying goes
"save something for a rainy day"
we have had so many rainy days, it is all
spent
cow is bent out of shape, and starving for some
coin of the realm, and the natural order of things,
scrambled,
saw three ducks out of their lake, taking a chance to
take swim in a monster puddle in a Wallmart
parking lot!
