Rain falling down in sideways sheets
flooding rivers with all the runoff.
Flowing high engulfing the streets
causing my cellar to look like a trough.
Can’t remember a year with water this high
on my sump pump I must rely.
Sucking out barrel upon barrel
hoping to keep my furnace dry.
Praying the household keep out of peril
hoping that soon we’ll see the blue sky.
Yeah I know all about the flood areas we have some down around here in Ashland too. The sudbury river is right off main street..
