The Anti-Rain Dance Poem by Tom Billsborough
The Anti-Rain Dance
Our ritual rain dance we rehearsed
Must now at once be quite reversed.
Since one I know has had a flood
Which, as you know, is not so good.
So if you choose your nearest tree
And form a circle orderly
Then dancing backwards with great care
Fully clothed (need not be bare)
Please chant this anti-rain refrain:
Dluoc uoy fi, niar, niar
Dum otni swodaem ruo nrut.
Lleps ruo yebo ot uoy egru ew
Llew ruo llif, stekcub ruo llif.

It has been hot and with little rain all summer here. Yesterday it started to drizzle and I went outside to stand in it. I beseeched the clouds to open up a little more to ease my burden of watering hundreds of plants every day with just a watering can and buckets. Within a few seconds, a house on the corner, only 100 feet away, was struck by lightning. Two entire fire departments were there for hours (Although I didn't even see any smoke)
