One Mourning

One misty, moisty morning,
When cloudy was the weather,
I chanced to see an acid rain
Falling on the heather.

Climate weirder by the day,
Went to EPA to complain,
How dare you? They say,
And how dare you?
We're under orders to abstain.

acid rain damage in forest

William's Whimsical Words:

The acid rain must have fallen on the White House rose garden.
