What Were You Thinking?
With my gradual slope
you had minimal hope
for the waters to flow.
Tell me, where would they go?
Since what drainage there was
was no longer because
your impervious lots
had now covered my spots
and the bayous, too small,
could not handle it all
With your growth so immense
you’d no practical sense
as you built your abodes
and established no codes.
With your dams out of date,
mere disaster in-wait,
any fool could portend
how this story would end.
