Is it raining?...

Is it raining? Is it snowing?Is a hurricane a-blowing?Not a speck of light is showing,So the danger must be growing.Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?Is the grisly reaper mowing?Yes, the danger must be growing,For the rowers keep on rowing,And they're certainly not showing,Any signs that they are slowing!- Charlie and the Chocolate factory
