The picnic's postponed.
The weddings are off.
The river is flowing
Right out of its trough.
Life near the river
Is often upset,
When Mother Nature
Makes everything wet.
The Mississippi
Has moods of its own.
Play close attention,
Or
Your plans could be blown.

Author Notes
This is Harriet Island in St. Paul, Minnesota. Shown is the picnic area and parking lot. The pavillion is used for weddings, especially in June. But the whole area is flooded this year, so picnics, weddings, and an event known as Taste of Minnesota were either cancelled or relocated due to the flooding. By the time I wrote this, the water was up to the windows of the building.
This picture was taken by the author himself.
