If you can keep things dry when all abou. If you canwat you are soaking wet and blaming agencies. If you can wade through floods atop your waders and make allowances for incompetence; If you can wait and not get tired waiting and move your furniture atop the waterline, or being flooded, dont give in to flooding, content and not to count the time. If you can sweep away the stinking puddles from houses that once were your joy and pride, youve lost; And start again at your beginnings. Renew possessions, after floods subside. If you can force your heart and nerves survival, And hold on tight when only hope remains, to serve you long until the banished dredgers, clear out the mud from rivers and the drains. If you can talk with crowds and keep your temper, or walk with Princes lugging sand about.If visitors or television irks you, or politicians raise your future doubt; If you can rise above3 the provocation display the Dunkirk spirit once again, Then you inspire undying admiration, and fervent prayers Oh please God no more rain!
