concrete rain

the latest storms are frightening
and, frankly, kind of draining
heavy clouds are massing in the sky
and cement bags are raining

a direct hit ought to smash you
if one hits you, you will die
go immediately to shelter
do not look up to the sky

metal roofs are always safest
if one's in your neighborhood
falling concrete bags are prone
to puncture massive holes in wood

oh, what mischief did we meddle
to get us in this pretty fix
if conventional rain should follow
we'll be stuck in ready mix
