Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Breaking News Where I Do Live

The breaking news where I do live

Is that the water's flooding out.

My constant flow of cuss words give

A clue of how I feel no doubt.

My family is safe and sound.

I am very thankful for that.

But the ache in my head does pound

On the flood in my habitat.

Thought of need to evacuate

Causes tension to flood my mind.

I hear cries from the kids and mate.

But first a plumber I must find.

Yes, it is breaking news - no joke!

Film at eleven - toilet's broke!
