Where's the Sunshine

The sun smiles, the moon waxes and wanes The stars twinkle when they come out at night Winds blow, gust, shirt, swirl, pick up and die down Tornadoes are twisters and hurricanes have eyes When the sun shines on us, that's good fortune She hides her face, we take it on the chin It rains on our parade, or we get snowed under Hurricane-force winds can tear whole towns asunder Earth's cracks and crevices widen, innocents consumed Lightning can strike us -- electrocution Tsunamis wash ashore -- total dissolution Twisters touch ground -- destruction, destitution Nature is oft delightful, capricious, full of fanciful whims Yet the havoc she can wreak is devastatingly grim
