Yearlong drought, harsh dry air.
Grass turned golden brown, flowers shrunk.
Water rationing!
Throat burning, nostrils bleeding.
Humidifier needed.
Let the grass be golden brown,
We are in the Golden State, they say.
Wait! What a sight!
Rain clouds are forming, dark and heavy.
Will it rain?
Wonderful it would be, if the clouds grow heavy.
Down, down, they fall, rain for us, they pour!
