They say it’s gonna rain today.
Weathermen across the county
predict a deluge (what they say).
Tho’ all of them do not agree
‘bout the exact length of this storm
or even when it will occur.
But just in case, stay safe and warm,
‘cause it’s-a-comin’ that’s for sure;
water rising high, and shucks,
spilling o’er the Shenandoah.
So keep your eyes open for ducks,
big arks, and old guys named Noah.

I liked the ending. It made me chuckle. With all that is going on in this world right now (or at least in my part of it) I found myself thinking about the political situation here in Canada, and the financial crisis.

This is a very enjoyable poem and very original. I love the picture and the background too! Nice Write! Second stanza should say "but" instead on "bit." Blessings, Patty
