When first the world stormed
did panic arise over whether
it would ever
again be dry?

Never and ever
harbingers of
It’s gone to far
the argument should have stopped
a few turns ago but here we are

And then when
likely and often came
with their gray days

or worsen?

So much temptation
in calibration
Measured gradation
temperature taking

What has one foot and no leg?
A day of riddles
always awaits
