We recollec, that in the spring
Some plantrve stanzas we would string
To bid the weather man beware,
And call a halt or have a care,
Because precipitation came
PoSponing almost every game
And Just poured down from dawn till dark
Until we commandecred an ark.
The memory still sticks around
OF how the saturated ground
Became sea OF oozy mud
Back there when trees began to bud
And latest things in bathing suits
And motor boats and wading boots
Seemed Just about the proper style
Unless the rain let up awhile
II rancd until between our toes
We're webs just like the duckling grows,
And only moist aquatic sports
We're staged upon the tennis courts,
While men with wooden legs avcrrcd
Those legs were sproutng and we heard
The helpful hen begin TO quack,
And still the rain kept coming back
But that was quite awhile ago,
And this will let John Slaughter know
lie shouldn't 90 from one extreme
To tothcr TIL the people scream
But some such thing has happened here
And now upon our shel-Tke ear
Come sounds of voices which complain
And ask million dollar ram.
