A Poem a Day (144): Cloud catching


Cloud catching

A cloud can weigh
More than a million pounds.

I read this today,
But this fact confounds.

Wouldn’t they just plunge
From the sky for us to step on
Accidentally out walking?

Bam! Just my luck today
To be soaked to the skin
By a runaway cloud!

It would be a natural hazard
Far worse than bird shit.
 Splat! There goes another one.

But enough of theorising.

Clouds don’t fall from the sky
Because the air below
Is heavier, so they float.

Which is good to know
If you’re walking below
Bam!
