Wild Planet, Cont.

With over 200 quakes listed today
Anchorage is aftershocking
But, after a 7.0 quake came their way
That place is gonna keep rocking
For days and days the earth will shift
That's what happens at junction zones
On a planet where the continents are adrift
Rocks crumple and shimmy; Earth moans
The atmosphere keeps sliding on by
Yesterday warm while today's cool
Few drops then from the sky
More today, wetness the rule
Tomorrow we could break a record high
Upper 60's to over seventy degrees
One day only then to warmth say bye
Back to chilly, the Earth decrees
Recently, I was called out from Texas
About slacking on the Holladay TOE
It's tough being retired, I'm doing my best-est
Sometimes rhymes come hard, don't 'cha know?!
All is well, the water in Louisa is safe to drink
After a day of closure and much confusion
The gas in the water has been flushed, they think
Not a problem for me, rain water in profusion
My wandering dog has drifted next door
And, GHW Bush has moved on to where...
Well, no one knows, that is for sure
Lots of ideas, but evidence is rare
The great mystery, we must each decide
About our amazing life, our impending death
How we really feel, deep down inside
But, life is what we got now
Just trying to make everyday a Holladay
The best that I know how
Hope you got out to do it right, Your way!
You had a good run Herbert Walker
Your heart was always in the right place
Can't say that about our current big talker
Who'll shove his rudeness, in your face
But, DJ Chump has quickly gone lame duck
Pleasantness, camaraderie will come on back
Not much longer will we hear the orange guy cluck
Smile, laugh, work for good, no need to attack
Winding down a football game, a hot blues show
Then out to da O
Dinner with folks I likely know
And, food that is...Whoa!!
Happy weekend, it's the Holladay season
Get out and check it out, Today on Earth
You're alive, do you need another reason
And, so, Miss Wose, was the wait worth??
