Dedicated to all those who've had to clean their gutters already this year.
|
In Eden didst thou know That to my gutters thou XXXWouldst go My downspouts there to clog As April's showers doth XXXO'erflow, Compelling me to scale My ladder's rungs again XXXTo bail Thee from my gutter troughs At risk of falling on XXXMy tail? A multitude prolific With damming pow'r XXXTerrific, Adhering to my downspouts For reasons sci- XXXEntific, And forcing o'er the side The rising April rain- XXXStorm tide To seep within my base- Ment walls and pool down there XXXInside? Thou hast no thought, I'm told. If I may be a man XXXSo bold To differ with the main In this respect to say, XXXBehold! Upon the wind you rode With one sole aim to my XXXAbode, Intelligence thou hast And worthy of my lit- XXXTle ode. |
