The sky was black
The rain came down
The rivers turned
a muddy brown.
The lightning struck
The dark sky sizzled
The power went out
and I just frizzled.
Not to worry, I’ll be right.
The gutters filled
The dams, they burst
Roads washed away
and cars submersed.
The yard it squelched
It reeked of mud
The lawn it drowned
beneath the flood.
No worries, I’ll be right.
The water rose
It tumbled through
my downstairs garage
and laundry too.
The boat came by
in the nick of time
My house dissappeared
in the sea of slime.
But don’t worry, I’m alright.
Yeh – Right as rain.
