Streaking lightning flashes scratched the blackened sky
Thunder rumbled making me a basket case
I trembled with fear my fright I couldn't deny
Swirling winds, pelting rain slapped my worried face
Clouds turned from seething grey to muddy quicksand
Hail like cue balls shattered into icy lace
My umbrella collapse, blew out of my hand
Ran for a canopy, laid flat like a hound
Siren sounded like a trumpet in a band
Canopy was flapping, I press to the ground
It broke free, flew away, like wild goose on wing
I wished I could be on my way homeward bound
Siren sounded all clear, a much welcomed ring
Safe now, I march home like a conquering king
