I Had A Post Written Last Night...

and saved it somewhere I forgot.  Been talking with TexWisGirl and knew she needed rain.  There are many states that are dry.

Last night I was pushing hard for rain to go west.  This silly poem I've now found is the result of that thought.
WISHING RAIN

'Twas another muddy weekend
I’m not talking to complain
I’m hoping to push it Westward
Cause other states need rain

I’m grateful the ponds are full
Humidity is rising fast
Grateful for the work I do
When sweat runs down my ass
We are such a little state
With crops growing tall
But Rain, don’t miss the other states
That have no rain at all.

Texas to California
and all dryness in between
Are looking for some rain like this
And we are pretty clean

Don’t think I’m ungrateful
I love all creatures great and small
I am grateful for the crops
That grow tall and now fall

I’m grateful
The mower chokes with every step
I’m grateful for mosquitoes
That are generating welts

I’m grateful for the leaking roof
Cause some have no roof at all
Pollination is done
Grass grows as rain falls

So rain move on to Texas
Some states are dry as toast
Push on Westward
to states that need it most

Push the rain to Texas
Where the dirt is dry
Texas to California
Could use this weeping sky

So push on Westward
Hear my cry
States are awaiting
Crops are bone dry

Send them a soaking rain
For now I've enough of this
There’s land out there
That’s grateful when you spit.
Maybe I pushed hard enough.  This one's for you, Theresa!
