The Storm
Mr . Barnett ( written with Room 22 )
The sky grumbles like a big hungry belly Roars like an angry lion And then the sky flashes brighter than a camera And my eyes are filled as if with an ocean of light Wow ! Oh , wow — how very bright And what is this falling on me now ? It ’ s like a teenie tiny pond dropped onto my forehead Then another and another and another and another Like a great big shower was turned on in the clouds Or like the grumbly , hungry lion in the sky just sneezed And when he did , his teeth shined brighter than the sun Glimmering in the little lakes falling from above
