A Rare Phenomenon

A rare phenomenon in these here parts This odd meteorological display A large scary object appeared in the sky Hovering over us to our dismay What could it be, are we all gonna die Have a feeling the end is near Gather the kiddies and head for the hills About swallowed my dentures I fear The thing's so bright we shield our eyes With designer type shades by Dior Can't remember being this damn scared Terrified right down to my core Then I heard on the six o'clock news Weather will be great so have fun Explaining this real scary occurrence It's the object we know as the sun © Jack Ellison 2012

"About swallowed my dentures I fear" Oh no! Sounds like quite a scare! Glad it was just the jolly old sun playing a prank. (: Always, Laura

I believe it, Jack. Sometimes the sun hasn't been around for so long that it is very much a scary sight that burst through the clouds. Fun in the sun, my friend. Liked it a lot.... Robert.

This has been an unusually cool summer so far... not complaining! Those 90+ degree days are bloody murder! Thanks for dropping by again, my friend! Jack

Loved it! Left Missouri to discover the sun in Phoenix, Arizona. Missouri is cloudy, cold, and in the 50's. It'll be 90- 2 days this week in Phoenix. Sunny of course...
