~~ THE STORM ~~ The night was still and oh, so black When suddenly there came a sharp crack. So bright and jagged this lightning bolt It gave me quite a wake-up jolt! The thunder growled, the wind it blew A storm was coming, I just knew. Great torrents of rain pelted the ground The wind through the trees, made an eerie sound. Across the roof and windows it poured Like a river, down the gutter, it roared. The lightning danced 'cross distant skies And the thunder just rumbled, as the storm passed on by.
