"Sparch That Barbecue"

an unending drought with famine a certitude
now if it were rainy today
the rain will not say
when the rain will go away
it may stay and stay and rain and pour
and flood over the roof and wash everything away
and we would all be dead and it wouldn't
matter anymore that New Hampshire
is the last state to ratify
