What about the drought?!?

What about the drought?

I won't go out
It's raining a drought!
This wench
Is drenched
Brolley's inside-out!

And it's so bizarre
I can't wash my car;
Is there no
Water left
In the reservoir?

A forlorn black sky -
A storm is close by
But politicians state
(In a dried up debate)
That the hosepipes
Stay dry!

My hair is frizzy
And feeling grizzly
As once again
It's got so drizzly
And people do insist
There's a little scotch mist.

It does appear
That the atmosphere
And troposphere
Are wet!
And it's raining 
Cats and Dogs
In the Stratosphere!

I won't go out -
So much wet about!
And the British Monsoon
Is here much too soon
But where is the drought!?
