The Cloud Walker
Listen ups people, this here is the honest to Gawd
truth story of this guy who do it. It's actually true somewhat.
Swearing on a stack of Bibles and me mothers picture
God bless her soul. Sees this dude lets call him
Johnny for anonymous purposes, anyways Billy
he kinda likes this pretty lady but she not interested in him
so he figures with his figuring he gots to do a stunt so
unbelievable, so amazing that it will impress her and wins
her heart for some heavy smooching. Billy finds out by
asking around that this gal is interested in Nephology
she likes clouds, being a meteorologist and such.
Her hobby is to be ways up on the high rise top
it is up there folks like maybe 99 floors give or take
a story. So she practically is already in the clouds way up there.
Now Billy does some heavy thinking, it was weighing the poor guy down
finally his eureka moment, she loves clouds, for her to love me
I will be a Cloud Walker and impress her. Now folks Billy was never
that much scientifical in the least but he had plenty of spirit.
So he spreads rumors and blast posters of himself as a famous
cloud walker and he would demonstrate his remarkable skill
this upcoming Wednesday for it would be overcast that day.
Sure enough before Thursday it was Wednesday and overcast
so Billy goes way up to the top of that there high-rise, he in white tights
with grey socks and gloves and a cap with lighting bolts
sticking on the sides, they was really cardboard. There was a small crowd
gather to see him but he did not see the pretty lady
but he is sure she will know of his amazing stunt and fall for him.
Sos he proceeds to the edge of the building and it is really overcast
the clouds are low and edging right up to the building
Billy spreads his arms and begins walking on the big
fluffy cloud and sure enough for a tenth of a second he was
walking on a cloud but gravity was stronger than his will.
SPLAT on the sidewalk way down below Billy became a
angel and ascended up up up far into the clouds . The thing is
the pretty lady had moved for her new job transfer and never knew
about this but don't cry folks for if on any day youse
lying on a grassy hill watching those big fluffy clouds roll by
look up, no not that one the third cloud to the left, yep for sure
There he is sure enough that is Billy the Cloud Walker
pacing back and forth on top of that there cloud
strumming his harp and flapping his wings
youse sees I was right after all
Billy done did it
the Cloud Walker.
This here is a disclaimer folks
don't go walking on clouds
even with a parachute on
chances are it won't work either.
