Southern California Rain

Southern California Rain

When it rains
in Southern California
the road is filled
with drivers
who are perplexed
as to what to do
Kinda scary

Mortgage companies
are bombarded
with phone calls
from property
owners
wanting
a discount
due to 
substandard 
living
conditions
because
they felt
a sprinkle
on their
skin

School districts
call for emergency
meetings
debating
whether
to close
the schools

For Christ Sake
it is just
a little
rain
the sun 
I promise
will 
come
out
again
like it
does 
364 days
the rest of the year LOL!!!!!

Hello Greg...

It's too bad the rain doesn't reach the fires...

Then the winds don't cooperate either...

Makes you kind of want to go umm, someone doesn't care for Hollywood?

The mud turns into cement like...

Great planning?

Whoever built that State...

Impressive with Multi Million Dollar Homes and $600 underwear...

When it snows in Tennessee it's crash up Derby time...

I don't know where they're going because nothing's opened and people call into work because the road is has snow dust...

I was thinking that I could get business cards saying Blizzard Driver for hire...

Not responsible if someone hits me first...

❄ ?

Florida has Tanning Salons, and if that doesn't please them they can spray tan and turn orange...

Skin cancer can't happen fast enough?

Great and sad awareness write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hi Greg
I love poetry that deals with our environment- this is a great piece that flows with real ease and whilst there is a lighthearted element it is underlined by a more serious comment- very nicely done !
