Wet

Does it seem a tad damp
or is it just me
Cause in my front yard
there used to be trees
I glanced out the window
and saw ducks swimming past
I keep on hearing
that this rain won't last
In this kinda weather
I have but one wish
that the lakes in my yard
we're well stocked with fish
I turned off T.V.
putting down the remote
as I saw Amish horses
pulling a boat
My outside light
now serves as a torch
while I'm night fishing
from a chair on the porch
I could be wrong
but on this I would bet
but in your opinion
does it seem a bit wet

I chuckled a bit at this. It's very imaginative and funny.
