   Who will stop the rain(s)?

   Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
   Clouds of myst’ry pouring Confusion on the ground.
   Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
   And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who’ll stop the rain.

   I went down Virginia, Seeking shelter from the storm.
   Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
   Five year plans and new deals, Wrapped in golden chains.
   And I wonder, Still I wonder Who’ll stop the rain.

   Heard the singers playing, How we cheered for more.
   The crowd had rushed together, Trying to keep warm.
   Still the rain kept pouring, Falling on my ears.
   And I wonder, Still I wonder Who’ll stop the rain.

   Over a 50% corn crop reduction during 1934, the worst ever. Missouri lost almost its entire crop.

   A hurricane or tropical storm that dumps 10-15 inches of wet stuff ought to cure the drought. But, that in itself will be a disaster, to be blamed on climate instability.
