And
the rain came down
everything was hell
never
saw that it was coming
no
one rang the warning bell
And
the rain came down
in
torrents and in sheets
chocolate
muddy water
filled
up all the streets
And
the rain came down
washed
away the homes
the
rivers left their banks
and
found new ways to roam
And
the rain came down
neighborhoods
were gone
so
many people stranded
livestock left without a barn
And
the rain came down
flooded
streets were closed
the
destruction so massive
no
one had supposed
And the rain is gone
streets
are drying up
people
helping people
things
are looking up
And the sun came out
drying
all the mud
but lots
of clean up left
from
this massive flood
I've
had the chorus to that Travelling Wilburys' song (Tweeter and the Monkey Man) stuck in my
head for over a week. The chorus goes:
And
the walls came down
all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they're standing
Never
saw them when they fell
The
poem kinda comes from there.
