Flood

Not last night, the night before, I woke up several times.
The rain poured down as if the Lord had found out all my crimes.
The hail hit the corrugations on the tin roof - thudded -
and radio announcers said some neighbour towns were flooded.

I went to work and only saw some puddles on the way
but found that several staff had rung because they'd had to stay
at home, and waded into roads where kayaks paddled round.
Some cars and even 4-wheel-drives got stranded, nearly drowned.
