cloudworms

(written for my oldest when she asked if you could eat clouds, then if there were worms in the clouds that eat them when they go away...)


the skies are rainy today
i wish it would stop
i can not go out to play
with raindrops going plop

what can make these clouds go away
and make the sun come out
if i look real hard inside my brain
i can do it with my thought

an animal up in the sky
could make it all stop
a cloudworm could be come a butterfly
if it ate all the clouds up top

if it eats the dark clouds
and the long clouds
and the white clouds
and the puffy clouds
we can all go out and play
and then it could spread its wings
and take the rainy day away
