*****
The thunder god is angry today,
Warning everyone in sight,
You can hear him grumbling and rumbling away,
*****
There’s going to be a big storm tonight.
And Mr sun speaks up to say,
From behind the shroud of black and grey,
*****
“Hey Thunder god what wrong with you today?”
“Shut up!” was his angry reply,
You have been out and sunny all day.
*****
"I have had to keep quiet with no reply,
While everyone romps and are out to play,
Now is my time to speak up today."
*****
"So you just keep quite till another day
It’s my time that you won’t deny."
*****
Till next time,
Calvin
