So
don't get your sprinklers out
The
dusty car must so remain
For
once the prayer goes up – for rain.
Home
paddling pools cannot be filled
For
water profligacy, we're billed.
Three-minute
showers the new norm
We
scan the skies for clouds each morn.
It's
the extremes that cause us Angst
Gardeners
check their water tanks ...
We
put out bowls for thirsty birds
But
how do farmers cool their herds?
In
the normal run of things
we
have full reservoirs and springs
To
take a bath is not a crime
But
maybe it will be – in time ...
