The Storm
Way out on the edge of town
I watched the evening sun go down
and then I felt a pitter-patter;
raindrops! But it didn't matter.
Very soon I heard the sound
of rain splish-splashing on the ground
So I, as the sky grew darker,
pulled the hood up on my parka.
A women in an evening gown
hurried past me with a frown
and folk were running helter-skelter
looking for some form of shelter.
Then the rain began to pound
forming puddles on the ground
thunder crish-crashed everywhere;
lightning flashed and rent the air.
Now it's true I wasn't bound
to stand there getting almost drowned
but I find storms exhilarating;
and gave that one a "tip-top" rating!
