    South Florida is NOT 
    Camelot

    I've racked my brain

    or what's left of it,

    for  something good about rain

     when too long bereft of it ,

    but  such  a dismal pain

    when, as now,

    it comes again and again and again.


    Though for tropical plants it is a loving touch,

     for all  us humans, not so much.



    We'd prefer to live   in Camelot*, The Musical,

    NOT that  Lake in Wisconsin

    ( which I also happen not to be presently  ensconced in.)


    Since  there  it never  rained a lot 

    for that would have   annoyed Sir Lancelot ,

    and could complicate  and interfere 

    with his slipping out with  Guinevere.

    *A law was made a distant moon ago here:
    July and August cannot be too hot.
    And there's a legal limit to the snow here
    In Camelot.
    The winter is forbidden till December
    And exits March the second on the dot.
    By order, summer lingers through September
    In Camelot.
    Camelot! Camelot!
    I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
    But in Camelot, Camelot
    That's how conditions are.
    The rain may never fall till after sundown.
    By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
    In short, there's simply not
    A more congenial spot
    For happily-ever-aftering than here
    In Camelot.
