Weekend Drought

Where is the deliveryman?

I’ve waited here all day

Can’t wait no more

For that delivery

To start this weekends play

But key ingredients are in transit

Paid in full and in advance

Rush order charges applied

Top quality guaranteed

Freshness to arrive

You know the feeling

I’m talking about

Waiting for that something

To fire up the weekend’s drought

Burning passions dancing down

Orange fires lance green earth

Wind drawn tunnels

Pulled tubes bubble and glint

As tiny smokies wobble their ascent

The weekend drought

Is no longer

A problem
