Mother Nature's Joke
Saw a cloud, our hopes went high
We ran outside, eyes to the sky.
One tiny cloud, off to our west,
Come on cloud - give it your best!
First just a drop, then there were two,
Excited and happy, our hopes, they flew!
Then a sunbeam dried those right fast,
Should have known better, no rain to last.
Two drops of rain, two drops total-
Oh Lord let it rain! Before we go postal!
