Welsh/English Waters Mix

Forecast: heavy precipitation across
Wales and the midlands:

but hereabout we see in England’s
fields and woods and streets it rains
a deluge spate of plunging felines
mingling with cascading canines,
who then must run off down the drains –
while over there in Wales, old women*
descend in torrents, intermix
with falling, pointing rod-like sticks
(evaporate in sunshine fix?),
but many must sweep with the flow
of streams which to the oceans go,
or out to England joining dogs
and all those floods of tumbling mogs,
– then stirred up down the pipes are poured
thanks to the English water board:

so should your water system shriek,
or bark or mew or bang or squeak
it may be a catfight in the mains
or grannies knocking with their canes …

But, in some parts of Wales – beware!
it can rain knives and forks, take care,
and somewhere overseas, I’ve read
they say it rains down spears instead
of cats or knives or forks or dogs,
and elsewhere storms of toads or frogs!

How good to know that H20
alone the dusty earth will drench,
and flow from taps our thirst to quench.

*“Mae’n bwrw hen wragedd a ffyn” – translates as ‘It’s raining old women and sticks’
Hopefully the corresponding English idiom is well known!
