THUNDERSTORM

Folder: 
OTHER AVENUES

 

 

One time when I was jogging in the rain

I heard some viscous thunder

and saw a streaking bolt of lightning

 

It was only supposed to be a sun shower

I cursed the weatherman

and turned about to head for home

 

I knew it’s be safe for me in the house

unless that one in a million chance occurs

and the lightning strikes through the window
