RAIN AFTER A DRY SPELL


Weather blobs: chance at 40%
& whoosh!   Storms wring rain from clouds rain
                                                     on surprised heads

A lengthy if superficial conversaton
regarding college funds

                    When your baby is one year old
                    & eats from your breast
                    this earns you several “crook eyes”

1) repair sandals
2) send in “proof of insurance”
3) give away box of toys

          Rainwater trickles      dissolving
          stone in European squares

                              My unhealthy wet tomatoes

And the thing I forgot to tell the young poet:
Take care of your teeth
