Naughty Cloud
Plane flying went
I
looked
out my
port only
to
see on wing-
tips
edge a
baby cloud
hanging
on as
if
enjoying the
ride
and all.
Pilot looks, and
plane
does hooks
trying
to say
to cloud
goodbye.
But, the little
cloud still hangs
on.
Now comes
walking
down wing
looks at me
through
the port,
sticks
out tongue
and makes a
nasty
face!
Naughty cloud,
I retort!
Then,
along
comes a
big
cloud in
speedy kick
waving
a thunder-
clap
like a
spanking stick.
Little cloud
apprehended by
its
mother,
so it seems
harsh
judgment
rendered
to the
little puffs back-
side,
and much
more
than one
tear streams.
Say
do you
think
this is
how
rain
is
made?
