Something woke me up last night,
and I quickly found out why;
The Gods were having a lovely time,
Throwing thunderbolts across the sky.

I could hear the thunder rolling from
the west across the sky;
It seemed to roll around and round
and made me wonder why.

The dogs all around were barking,
The thunder hurts their ears;
And the violent bursts of lightning
Seem to add to all their fears.

I’d like to take them all inside,
To offer them protection;
As I feel that those who own them,
Don’t harbour that much affection..

The brilliant lightning flashes turned
the night to brightest day;
If for only just a split second,
Before they faded away.

And I know of one poor lady who
really loses her head;
For when the thunder starts to roll,
She rolls under her bed.

The night outside was very still,
No breeze to stir the air;
We got hardly any rain at all,
Just noise and light were there.

But Mother Nature has a reason for
Each part of her master plan;
But I can’t work out why we had that storm,
And I doubt if anyone can.
