Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 631 (Drought Out)

The tree stood for many a year-

It’s strength was bright and clear.

.

And, then one day its demise was brought about-

The land had changed due to the drought.

.

The leaves began to get brittle-

To shrink up, until they were little.

.

A drink of water would surely do-

But, Mother Nature did not follow through.

.

The bark began to crack-

Even the animials who lived within

began to take track.

.

Packing up their bags, to a brand new

place-

Time was funning out, this was one

nature race.

.

No more could it stand, there was no more

stall-

The tree with no more strength had to fall.

.

The tree stood for many a year-

It’s strength was bright and clear.

The Short-To Sport (22)

A race with the drought-

Is what the extra rainfall is all about.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 949 (Brown Brown Grass At Home)

It was time to cut the lawn-

So, I woke up at the break of dawn.

.

But, first I had my choice of picks-

For out in the yard, there were many sticks.

.

And, after they were picked up, I began to mow-

As soon as I passed over it, it continued to grow.

.

Unfortunately, as the season moves along-

Something will not be right, as a matter of fact it will be wrong.

.

For the drought will travel along the ground-

And, many brown patches will be found.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 796 (Frog Time)

The frogs came out-

Even, in the midst, of a drought.

.

There wasn’t just one, it was like

a crowd-

And, oh, my goodness, they did

croak loud.

.

They generally like the rain-

But, there was none on the plain.

.

So, they came out anyway-

They just couldn’t wait another day.

.

To have the will, to make as much

noise, as they could-

In a bush, near a tree, in the wood.

.

The frogs came out-

Even, in the midst, of a drought.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose (The Bare Land)

There was a family who moved to the country-

For they wanted to be free of the city.

.

To smell the flowers and roam the wood-

To take advantage, of the country, as best

as they could.

.

To picnic, under the trees-

To sit on the porch, to enjoy the breeze.

.

To have a few pigs, and a cow or two-

To enjoy the stars when the day was through.

.

But about those trees, Mother Nature had

another thought-

And one by one, eventually they were sought.

.

Between the drought and a big hurricane-

The trees began to come down, with less shade

to gain.

.

A few trees and bushes had been replanted, and

they would grow slow-

The family had to adjust, for it was the only way

to go.

.

For some things cannot be controlled, especially

Mother Nature, for sure-

It’s a sad reality, in life, that the trees just did not

endure.

.

There was a family who moved to the country-

For they wanted to be free of the city.

Three To Paint Once Again (2012)

1. That painting.

2. The house.

3. The grass, in the front yard.

==============================

As drought as it may be-

In my front yard, all green is what you

will see.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 257 (It Was A Bit Dry)

In Texas it was a bit dry-
So everyone was happy
when the rain passed by.

.

It thundered a bit with a
roar-
It passed by quick, with
a little more emotion in
store.

.

Not no serious rains, but
enough to get the land
wet-
With a bit of drought,
we’d already paid our
debt.

.

In Texas, it was a bit dry-
So everyone was happy,
when the rain passed by.
