"So Much Depends Upon."..

A take off of a William carlos williams poem. It reminds me of how much we depend on electrical power and those who service it.

As we recover from the storms I think of a simple poem by William Carlos Williams, So Much Depends Upon A Red Wheel Barrow.  I have based this poem on it.  It is funny how we depend upon things we hardly think  about twice.   Now, as we see how dependent we are on the services we take for granted, the poem takes on a lot of meaning.  I hope those of you without power,and hot water, and floods can take some comfort in this.  Speedy recovery to all.
