"OOPS!"

"There will be a brief period of rain, followed by
sunshine....WHAT!!?...oh yes.... and a rainbow........"

One hour of persistent, heavy rain,
would have been quite easy to explain.
Add on nine hundred and fifty nine more,
and, of any explanation you
would no longer, be quite so sure!

I wonder if that's how it struck the people,
in those days of yore.
To be more precise,
brevity will not suffice...in the days of Noah!

Mad, messianic prophet.
He must be all wet!
best close your ears, laugh heartily,
and, instantly, forget.
would not believe him, on a bet!

What is that...thing...he's building there,
a wooden cistern!?!
It wont hold water, all sagely declared.
Then, shook their heads, and,
on dry, hot, desert sand, walked slowly away from there!

If we continue to allow our polar icecaps to melt we may experience this in person... or the next generation will. Sounds like an old movie...
