81:2.17 The older river races made their huts by setting tall poles in the ground in a circle; the tops were then brought together, making the skeleton frame for the hut, which was interlaced with transverse reeds, the whole creation resembling a huge inverted basket. This structure could then be daubed over with clay and, after drying in the sun, would make a very serviceable weatherproof habitation.

Weatherproof
Winter’s truly here today.
A blanket white is on display.
No chance of melting this away
Until spring weather does hold sway.

This winter has been very warm.
In the South, there’s many storms.
Is California washed away?
No, not yet! Someday it may!

The change in weather’s hard to predict—
So diverse in its effects.
Disruptions when a structure fails—
Not built to withstand more than gales

We need to change the way we build.
More expensive? The market’s chilled.
But if we just continue on,
What we build will soon be gone!

Making structures weatherproof
Will always be a sought for truth.
Hurricane and cyclone winds
Without some shelter, make us cringe.

First we will electrify
Homes and cars to satisfy
Our need to stop effects of warming.
Reduce emissions is the warning!

Thank You Father, we’ll endure
And knowledge will be gained, for sure.
We will improve the ways we live.
Get more in tune, learn to forgive.
