Tonight the household
of this poet
is without the power provided
by Duke Energy
a former employer of
and current donor to
North Carolina Republican governor
Pat McCrory.
This poet knows better
than to Blame Him For The Rain
(however icy)
that was fallin' fallin'
and the resulting inconvenience
but perhaps that corrupt
Milli Vanilli
should reconvene for
Blamin' Him
For The Eighty Thousand Tons
of Coal Ash in The River?
