Bad Weather Poem by M.L. Squier

Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
A sleeping & dreaming Bear
Was awakened in his Lair-
The sturgeon in the Lake
Was suddenly Awake!
Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
The quaking Crocodile
Swam mile after Mile-
The grinning Chimpanzee
Jumped upward like a Flea!
Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
A bathing Elephant
Made a very loud Grunt-
The grazing Gazelle
Ran away like Hell!
Because
The little Rolling Thunder
Pulled his mad brain Asunder
The flying Bumble Bee
Fell down upon his Knee-
The jumping Kangaroo
Began to Moo & Moo!
