The Thunder Rolls

Today the Thunder Rumbled for about two hours.
I LOVE the sound of thunder.
I love summer rain storms.
Today we had a lot of both.
Dark clouds
Thunder
and Rain.
 
It felt nice.



I was looking for a poem about thunder
and storms
and found one about story of thunder.
I kinda liked it and thought I'd share
It's cute....


As thunder rumbled, wondered I:
How come this grumble from the sky?
And lightening flashed and tore asunder,
This very sky that I stand under!
Hot and humid was the day,
In that sticky summer way;
And hot air thought it would be wise,
To take it's stifling clouds and rise.
And so the clouds of cumulus,
Gave themselves an upward thrust.
At break neck speed, they did collide,
With cold air on the other side.
Hello! said hot air to the cold,
(which made the clouds upset, I'm told)
For at their tops, in their defense,
They carried anvils, quite immense.
But hot air flashed cold air a smile,
Which could be seen for many miles,
And cold air cried in great delight,
Which shook the sky with force and might.
Clouds, unimpressed and unafraid,
Began to rain on their parade.
But people just below on earth,
Alarmed at hot and cold's great mirth,
Dropped their chores and ran for cover
To give privacy to these two lovers.
For love, although we think it warm,
Can be as violent as a storm.

The bad things about summer rain...
I just washed and waxed my car yesterday, bummer
and it makes the air humid.
Otherwise I  think I could live in a place where it rained
well...maybe only twice a week.
