They built a high-rise in a flood zone
because they knew the tenants would pay
to have a place far and high away.
On their porch below the sky,
they could watch the tide come through
as the ocean paints the city blue.
They would never have to worry
since they won’t be in a hurry
when the water billows through.
Their cars would be parked,
safely stored and marked.
Their clothes would be dry,
rest assured thereby
that all is well up top.
They built a high-rise in a flood zone
because they knew the tenants would pay
to be safe up high and far away.
