Yesterday evening, it rained <br />cats and dogs. The night <br />was plaintive. And even after <br />we'd swept them all up and <br />found homes for them, <br />bandaged their paws, and <br />got them down from the trees <br />and chimney-stacks <br />there were still <br />poodles in the street.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-for-jc-and-ajs/
