Death valley

 On a boiling hot summer day

The car whizzes by a deserted highway

Unable to pause, unable to stop

Searching for rain, even a drop

The parched throats in the vehicle cry out

In whispers, as they cannot shout

Bushes blur by with lightning speed 

How anything grows is a wonder indeed

Clouds fill the sky but still not a drop will fall

Apparently water is an order too tall 

But, hoorah, the liquid out of the sky it drips 

Enough for everyone to have a few sips

Now, in the death valley, all is calm

In death valley where wave trees of palm
