The staccato drum of liquid gifts
Hitting the roof as the drop in flops
At first in slow fat lazy plops
Then fast long shards of heaven’s sieves
Gaia gulps in greed and happy sighs
As drop flow in with happy sucks
Till she no longer can hold her guts
As plop, the great mother burst her seams
Reservoirs threw up their hands and wept
Manholess in tears ask ‘just how deep?
Drippy gutters not ashamed to weep
Then who will see your tears in rain
A gift at first in lazy plops
Now greedy liquid swirls of hate
Sweepin and taking with angry whirl
Both home and house and precious songs
