Water Droplet

I was a happy little water droplet Playing in a cloud Until lightning struck And thunder clapped loud Stopping all my mirth Dropping me to earth Joining many others Of my sisters and brothers Bobbing wild and rampant In a surging torrent Towards a dam Causing quite a jam In a pipe so black With no way back Chlorinated pure Like I’ve never been before Jailed in a tray With cells all the way Frozen in a cube until used Dropped into whisky Making me quite frisky To the sound of “Cheers” I disappeared Down a gullet to a stomach Mushed to and fro Told to go To a loo full of poo Down a sewer full of mice That really was not nice Finally to the sea Where I was free To have some fun Floating in the sun. Feeling emancipated Zap!. Evaporated Into a happy little water droplet Playing in a cloud Hoping not to hear the thunder clapping loud.
