Across the news feed, loud and clear
There’s talk of mud in desert lair;
Bold festival* of outdoor art
With Burning Man right at its heart.
This Celtic symbol now updated
Deep in Black Rock is created
With “Animalia” as its theme;
It promised an exciting scene!
Nevada drew enormous crowds
Expecting sunny days not clouds …
Dame Nature zooms in - “rocks” the boat
But not with music; All afloat!
A quirky thunderstorm puts paid
To the cosy tent brigade;
Instead of sunset in the dust
Cars are mud-logged; will they rust?
The world learns of their plight on screen;
The aftermath is one bad dream
To dry roads out may take some time!
But hey, this has inspired my rhyme!
