“The Little Cloud” by russ mckay

Though I am just a little cloud

I’m fluffy and billowy and very proud

If I keep growing then I guess

I’ll become a big old cumulus

And float with my friends so you can peer us

And tell us apart from those wispy cirrus

We cumulus clouds have the most status

We’re not stringy and gray like those skimpy stratus

You can tell I like being what I am

And I like changing shapes which I can

Down on the ground as you gaze on high

You’ll be guessing what I look like as I fly by

But if I get noisy and turn grey/blue

I’ll be getting ready to rain on you

But don’t take shelter under a tree

‘Cause lightning bolts might come from me

I’d much rather float in the sun up high

Looking like cotton shapes in the sky

So when you see me wave and say Hey

And I’ll save my rain for another day
