Dog and Thunderstorm
I’ll whimper, cower and tremble
under this chair I shall reside
Because the storm’s angry rumble
will make me quiver, shake and hide
I will bury my head and whine
at each thunderous sound it makes
That causes the floor to vibrate
and every windowpane to shake
Bright flashes streak across the sky
and they do freeze my very heart
I will hide behind your legs while
they try to rip the sky apart
I hear the wind howl through the trees
as nature bows down to your will
The rain pounds down in torrents
that rattle against the windowsill
Now that the rumble has moved on
and all that’s left is a soft blow
As rains soothingly taps against
the glass of the bedroom window
I will stretch and give a big yawn
scrunch up this pillow for my head
Lay down and get some needed rest
in my comfy and warm dog bed
