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?”
“Now you’re being silly! Cotton can't 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.
