The clouds which of late have all but forgotten <br />What rain is and where it comes from <br />Spit some strange mixture or form of precipitated pollution <br />On our freshly washed and clean car <br />After my wife had just spent all afternoon <br />Dispensing the month old dried and toasted road grime <br />From the fenders, windows and hood of our once perfectly white car <br />Water is in such short supply and the pump doesn’t work well without it <br />So she decided to end our self imposed moratorium <br />On the indiscriminate use of the costly municipally supplied H2O <br />And give the birds a clean target <br />The bill isn’t even yet in the mail… <br />And the car is already covered in chunks of acid rain<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-birds-get-fifty-points-for-hitting-the-hood-of-a-clean-car-and-100-bonus-points-if-they-spray-the-windshield/
