Mother Nature's sense of humor
a kind of poetic justice?
for where there once was a rich man's lake
the mud now swallows a stuccoed luxury
and the gated community members
are crying foul play
but it's just Mother's way to say
I rule, you drool
and as the buzzards circle overhead
to feast on the mud flapping dying fish,
you've gotta laugh
at how sinkholes sabatoge
the best laid plans of
mice and men,
and now Scott's Lake
or the mudflats that remain
shall perhaps belong
to the public again.

*sinkholes underneath Scotts Lake FL, drained it like a bathtub, leaving million dollar homes in a gated community with boat docks high and dry....
Mother Nature's version of poetic justice?
