The Sneaky Thunderstorm

The approaching rainstorm, Rolls across darkened skies; Tries to hide in the clouds; It will not have success. It happens too often; Everyone knows its goal. It shakes the Earth and terrifies the kids; “boom…boom…ba bang… boom;” Angels bowling, huh? Do I look stupid? Everyone knows Angels don’t bowl; Soccer’s their game Of choice, you know. Everyone knows thunder; merely drums Sneaky thunder. Drums.

I am trying to picture the angels playing soccer; I had to re-dress them, but that was no big deal. A good one for sure, M.L.

Thunder is sneaky and the dry part of the storm before it rains is scarier and sneakier - it rumbles and grumbles and the lightening whose electricity could light up a city - children and animals are petrified - sneaky thunder, merely drums. Hugs, Jennifer.
