MILDEW- With apologies to Dr. Seuss

Mildew, mildew everywhere!
Is that mildew in my hair?
Mildew growing on my suitcase,
Mildew growing on my shoes -
Mildew growing on Bill's hat:
Now that is some bad news!
Mildew on the ceiling,
Mildew on the walls -
Mildew on the cupboards,
Mildew down the halls...
Go away gray mildew.
Don't ever come ye back!
Our lives are best without you -
And that is just a fact!

The latest in the long collection of poems Alice has written since leaving San Diego on 2 November 2005. We will be SO glad when we return to a drier climate!

LOVE the poem! We drove to Guaymas to rescue our mildewed stuff after Jimena. Our boat was unscathed in its stands, but some clothes inside got pretty mushy. I don't get how that happens? We spend 2 1/2 years in the water with no water inside, but a little storm finds any leak and attacks!
