Stormy Weather

Stormy Weather I never noticed until today That the wind blows south in east PA The sun only shines between five and nine And the rain comes in the summertime Everyone here waits for the smell of roses But hates the trouble the storm poses Many trees fell down in town this May Little children scurried to get out of the way The shingles on houses flew through the air And power outages were everywhere The firemen and linemen got acquainted But never noticed pretty houses are painted The moon is full when the townies act crazy And the air is thick when the sky is hazy But I’ve got plans that will not be broken And good ideas that are left unspoken I sure hope the clouds aren’t coming my way I’m betting on a bright and sunny day today

Some great images here of a storm. I particularly like the line about the full moon and the townies - it happens here too.
