where sorely needed precipitation
necessitates affected population
to perform a collective rain dance
(decked out in electronically smart frippery)
24/7 and 7/52 weeks a year
defies even the most adept meteorologists
(equipped with special magical powers)
to deliver nothing short of a biblical deluge
makes them (the weather forecasters)

appear as motley fools,

when mother nature

 

presents herself insync
(and well deserved
to be crookedly pilloried)
with handy dandy
blue skies as an affront
even garnering wrath
of Kong and sons of Kanute,
but more horrifically

evincing absolute zero happenstance

to release bucketfuls

of sought after requisite

 

moisture from the sheltering sky

prodding conspiracists
to put earth in the balance
with the uncomfortable truth
to beg the military intelligence
to draft schematics

to erect at least one humongous lance

fired away with a half sashay

subsequently poking holes
in the cloudsource,

or as an extreme measure

 

firing nuclear missiles
high in the atmosphere perchance
hitting hard and knocking
sense and sensibility

in the mindscape of the gods

and goddesses of rain,

(needed to mill whole wheat flour,

raised in the rich bottomlands
of the Lake Wobegon river valley
by Norwegian bachelor farmers,
and are often described

being "pure, mostly"
and "good for you"
due to their whole wheat composition)

or more accurately affecting,

(albeit rendering, and delineating)

countless names representing

aforementioned invisible supernatural beings
(considered inviolable and sacred
and worthy of worship)
into dental sent trance.

In an effort to expound
upon intent to brainstorm
regarding an outrageous modus operandi
to quell the dearth for rain
or synonyms of said word
encompassing Earth, a planet third
nearest from the sun
I, a long in the tooth

and formerly indentured servant

 

also notate that

temperatures considerably warm

for November, October and September
rounding out two thousand and twenty four,
where climate change
(read warming) in full swing
(your partner round and round),
though mild temperatures
diminish heating expense,

(in conjunction with LIHEAP,

 

I qualify for PECO's CAP Rate program,
a discounted rate
for residential electric
and gas customers with low incomes),
thus far HVAC unit never turned on
only the LASKO
portable tower heater model 5144
accessed to take out the chill

in our one bedroom apartment

here at Highland Manor.
