Lovers Rock Under Water Put 1 Finger Up 2

Lover's rock at the end of town is underwater now despite the drought and water pipe ban in place Because you see the politicians could not unite on common ground and overcome the red tape in order of how to fix it So the dam wall was eventually breached Because so to the child who was trying to plug the leak with his finger Had to leave as well as his paper round was due to start early that fateful morning And you see had to abandon his post as there was a far more pressing matters and crisis he had to attend at home Because be was the only 1 in his family who possessed a job And the sole bread winner who was charged with putting food upon his family members plate otherwise without him they may well have starved And they were already drowning in debt So what more harm could possibly befall them than a bit of water possibly could do that hadn't been caused or done alreay

your poem is proof that it never rains but it pours and sadly all to many are drowning in debt and depression mounts with the pressure of life especially during these terrible times with the pandemic, such a sad reflection of our times:-( write on Christopher!:-) hugs Jan xx

Love it Christopher, The little Dutch boy that saved Holland, will never sound the same again, you hit on the theory of life is pointless and futile, that whatever is going to happen will happen and cannot be prevented, you plug one hole and another one opens, so the moral of your story is just enjoy what we have, if indeed we have anything at all, not everyone understands depression, if they read this, they might just understand the nightmare scenarios that accompany it, cheers David
