We had a heavy storm last night
with thunder loud and lightning bright
one flash of lightning was so close
that I was sure we were the host
but the storm it is true to say
was at least fifty miles away
although the thunder sounded near
and shook the RV to as though in fear
as the pressure waves hit his side
and we all thought we were going to fly
probably that’s what I thought
but the dogs they really cared not
as they were sitting on my lap
safe and sound as my arms did wrap
around each one to hold them tight
even through the very bright light
when the storm passed by and the wind slowed
and I thought to myself that it goes to show
that Man with all his smarts and his brains
as Nature goes, he shows no gains
as she still does her thing
and we cower as her voices sing
as she puts on her wonderful display
having everything her own way
it turns out she was not done
as a day later she had more fun
in rolled the clouds dark and grey
and she spoke to us in her own way
and opened up the skies so dark
and without warning the whole of the park
was drenched in a downpour so very severe
as water covered the ground and anything near
including me and the dogs who are my life
and protect them I do from any strife
as we rushed to find shelter back to our home
totally soaked but not alone
as others were caught out just the same
not caring just glad to see the rain.
