Water Everywhere

A dam burst in Iraq and that`s how it began it rained for
months

and no one had thought of building a Noah’s ark fill it with
pigs

to feast on when Christmas came around but there would be

too many objections from practising Jews, vegans, not
forgetting

Muslims and the two Semitic people`s family would squabble as

they have done for centuries and the vegan`s would eat
seagrass.

When Himalaya was a reef sailors on ships had eaten each
other

sardines, a metre and twenty long, danced in The Radio Music
Hall

a shimmering synchronised display entertaining dolphins; and

 the Wall Street was a
hangout for hammer head sharks as were

the way of the pre-flooding days. Finally, the water ebbed
enough

for the only man left to go ashore on the reef and dry his
feet,

burning his raft, smoke a cigarette and wondering, what
happened

 to the blue wales.
