Lerking Storm

Fast asleep in a reclining chair, woke from slumber, by crashing thunder Suddenly the lights go out and the TV flickers in and out Darkness comes about, silence of the TV seems to just shout Dazed and confused, looking for a source of light to use Stumbling all about stubbing my toe, ouch! Whipping winds and heavy rain broke out a window pain Wind and rain come gusting threw Blowing over a lamp that can't be used Frighten dog and a scaredy cat whimper and cried All the while looking for a place to hide Shoring up the window blocking out wind and rain Out of hiding comes the cat and Great Dane Freezing weather out of doors, inside the fireplace roars Cuddled up with my cat and Great Dane, here I'll stay until the storm is contained
