Ellicott City - again

olde Ellicott City
with stories to tell
from a mill town to
a touristy everyday hangout
you are funky - has spunk
cause your young-at-heart
is growing and strong

but an aneurism
suddenly hits
out of the blue
and a blood clot
your body's defense
just floats and bloats
and almost down
on your knees

the second time within
twenty-four months
how many more
can you take?
how much more
of nature's wrath
is enough for the soul?
Ellicott City of
youth for the ages/aging
keep fighting -
I need you for
my sanity and your own

Twice within 24 months a major flooding
in Ellicott City is a warning that 
nature has gone haywire
