Rushin' Rant

       Seeking a certain word on the way home in traffic, I came up with several others on the way to finding it:

It's the rush that comes from new love, it's the rush of water over Niagara Falls,  it's the bum's rush, it's Rush Limbaugh, it's the rush of rain streaming down the sewer drain, it's the rush of wind through the trees, it's the Russhhh-un Dance by Tchaikovsky, it's the rush on college campuses of fraternities and sororities, it's the blush of the flush with the rush of blood to the cheeks . . . yes, but it's actually rush hour.
