IT WAS RAINING ON THE STREET AND MY UMBRELLA

It was raining on the street and my umbrella 

Was out of town

On very important umbrella business

Supposedly

Though I did have my doubts

What I did not have in addition to my umbrella were my boots

The boot inspector had come the day before

And taken them to be inspected certified and cleaned

After which they would be returned to me

Allegedly

I have not seen my boots since that day

Now the rain has turned to snow

The laundry is piling up the trash is too

For once I'd like to have 

Something happen that was supposed to
