The Lyrics

When the vicious winds start blowing,
and the rain is starting to fall
Waterways are overflowing…
might need to make a 9-1-1 call.

California’s now a slough,
in the north and the south, too.
Many of the roofs are bowing.
Why won’t this damn storm ever stall?!

California’s got inundations—
time for natation.
The flowers and bowers doomed in the drink:
Their moorings get pouring—down they sink; firehose ain’t kinked.

The sun’s dismissed; it still abates;
even nervous are ships’ mates.
Leaves are clogging storm-drain grates.
California’s overrun.

Californians are glum,
in a funk, sunken, and bummed.
Rain’s power for hours means that cars sink.
Mud’s pouring through flooring; boards ain’t chinked and start to stink.

The sun’s been kissed off for weeks straight;
let’s face it: We’re in mire straits.
Overwhelmed are the flood gates.
Californians are bummed.

all of these clouds are killing me. It looked a little sunny one day and I went out to be in the dark. I have one pretty pot of marigolds and a bunch of marigold seeds that never started growing. I'm going to have to remember that usually after this much rain that it's gonna become drier then swell
