Thunder

Your lightning bolts, as you approach,
still fill us all with wonder!
�until we hear you�re getting close!
Are you the god of thunder?

Flash across the summer sky
with fearsome din, intense!
Then, touch the ground from upon high!
We cower, no defense!
�
Jupiter, or maybe Thor?
You�ve gone by many names�
The last bolt made me cake my drawers!
�and, now the barn�s aflame!
�
I pray that you will leave me be
and get on your way!
Damn! You split my Walnut tree!
Celestial horseplay!
�
Who is the wind, who follows you?
I thought that Aura drowned?
That bitch is a tornado now?
She�s flattening our town!
�
You�ve left rubble in your wake
and blown down all the trees!
Please don�t return, for all our sakes,
until you�re just a breeze!
�
The summer weather�s turbulence
can take on many forms.
Mother Nature�s merciless
and loves her summer storms!
