God’s pipes are leaking again,
water is dripping everywhere,
and I don’t have any buckets.
The lawn is slushy wet,
the cul-de-sac is drooling,
like a one year old sprouting teeth.
Aren’t there any plumbers in Heaven?
No do-it-yourself, Home Depot angels?
I’d volunteer to lend a hand, but
it’s better if I hang around
to clean up the growing mess.

Don't turn it off or fix those pipes yet......I am enjoying the drizzle......and it does appear to be clean water.......or clean enough.
Anything I will say would fade away in front of this eloquent poem...
Very well said Pat...
