Flash Flood Alert on my Phone

A warning sounded on my phone -

An elongated beep -

So loud it must be meant to wake

Whoever is asleep…


Alerting me that there could be,

Within my current range,

A dangerous flash flood, which I

Found really kind of strange.


There is no river and no lake

For many miles around

And certainly no ocean

Barreling towards higher ground.


Yet I was warned, “Stay off the roads 

And don’t attempt to drive

For if a flash flood strikes you would

Be lucky to survive.”


The warning did its job and scared me

Near out of my pants.

Although the sun’s come out, you think I’d drive?

No, not a chance!
