Foolish Clouds

Said the cloud, I’ll grow and fill up the sky I will cover the land below like a shroud the day will be dismal and gray I’ll make it rain for I am a cloud. I’ll call my friends, Nimbus and Stratus Together we will hamper the sun She thinks her power can over rule We’ll show her who is number one. I have called upon my forces They will cover the sunlight They will turn the sky gray There won’t be any bright daylight We will stunt the beauty of nature Wash out its’ colors and scent Stars will whine and whimper We won’t stop until we are content We’ll attack early, just before break of dawn Blocking the sun’s rays before they touch down The atmosphere will be filled with moisture We will spill barrels of water on the ground Before dawn arises, stars barge out To protect the sun already in a tether The sun and stars have now joined forces To savor nature that may wither Arms drawn, to battle they go Show of force with thunder and lighting Clouds fracture and the rain dissipates A rainbow appears, clouds less frightening The sun spreads abundantly upon the soil Stars regain their post with pride The sun still rules, all is won The overcast has been pushed aside.
