How dry I am

These daze in California it sucks to be a trout
ponds are disappearing due to the drought.
we messed with mother nature her sons and her daughter
shes going to teach us a lesson about conserving water.
there will be few waterfalls to chase
just mirages in this desert place.
anticipating parched times ahead gets me upset
my favorite thing in life is better off wet
out of the woodwork comes the shifty
to peddle us bottles of water for a dollar fifty.
(oh they already do that...ever mind)
rationing will cause us a little pain
for awhile there will be no more singing in the rain.
no where to swim and not much to boil
at least I wont have to mow my soil.
what if I went mad and used an extra pail?
would the water narcs kick in my door and haul my ass to jail?
divine water witches will come in crowds
beg for cumulus nimbus and all those clouds
no car washes or blooming flowers
This subway rider hopes they don't limit peoples showers.
I once was water wasteful I must confess
I will not swim against the current and go with the flow
please pass a canteen of H20
I was water wasteful I must confess
when I think of all those failed urine tests.
I have an action plan that's crystal clear
I will drink less water
but drink more beer.
(get back with my ex and recycle tears)
I will have wet dreams of Hawaii and Fiji
and when I shave I will use a squeege
maybe one of our elected clowns
can tow a titanic iceberg down.
I hope this dry spell isn't here to stay
for clouds and puddles I will pray.
I guess for water we will pay
but all my moneys saved up for a rainy day
How dry I am.....
