Midday Night

A most beautiful day, so calm; not a single sign of fright                                                                                          Everyone in the quiet neithborhood, so pleasant and polite                                                                                                   

No doubt about it; indeed, it was clearly the noon day sun                                                                                      But then, very suddenly, our day turned into night with a stun

Not everywhere, but there, it was genuine Southern speech                                                                                    One must experience to appreciate; not something to teach

Then the heavens opened with a blast of thunder and frightning light                                                                         There were electric streaks of energetic fire burning awesomely bright

Then came mighty pouring rain pounding the pavement like angry beasts                                                                Within a few minutes, the dark clouds disappeared, and the terror ceased
