From the erstwhile Poet Laureate of camp, dormitory, and office, verses inspired by rain, rain, and more rain during the first week of May in Michigan:
Endless precipitation
Breeds rank frustration
Storm clouds of hurt
As rains wash o’er dirt
Wading through mire
I fain would expire
Oh for a dry-eyed fling
Romping with glorious spring
