Clouds
“There is a cloud that looks like a bunny!
Over there is one just like a rocket!
Do you ever think it might be funny
To put a cloud right into your pocket?”
“I think that would just make your pants soggy.
And then we would both have to go inside.
That one right there looks just like a doggy!
And there is a dragon! Run, doggy! Hide!”
“Do you think clouds might be made of cotton?”
“You’re being silly! Cotton cannot fly!
Mommy told me once, but I’ve forgotten…
The rain comes from the clouds. I wonder why.”
They watch the clouds pass and lay on their backs
‘Til Mommy comes out to bring them some snacks.
