Joey

 Oh, the cloud it turned to dark
 and the sun had lost its spark
 and the teardrops, they were falling from the sky
  
 Joey felt a droplet fall into his hand – 
 then another fell like sand
 and the Earth, so short of friends, began to cry
  
 The grass had turned to mud
 and the drops were now a thud
 and the clouds - they made noises rarely heard
  
 The thunder it was clapping
 and the noise it was nerve-wracking – 
 as Joey ran inside without a word
  
 The miner bird was flapping
 and Joey’s Mum was wrapping
 a blanket 'round her son to keep him warm
  
 The kettle it was boiling
 and Joey’s Mum was warning
 Joey - very soon I know there'll be a storm
  
 But then the thunder stopped its clapping
 and in the sky a change was happening
 as dark clouds were replaced by brighter sun
  
 Joey raced outside laughing
 he could hear the dogs were barking
 and all at once they said, 'let’s have some jolly fun'.
