"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."

The day dawns dark and blustery,
Heavy clouds release their deluge
And the ground slurps it up with fervor.
Even the birds and squirrels have found shelter
Only the pounding of rain
Thunders through the area.
Eventually it stutters to a stop
Dripping off the trees
The street a damp mess with scattered debris
The storm has passed
All is well.
Slowly a fluttering of wings
Birds gather in search of worms
Their songs tentative
As squirrels emerge from their nests
They explore what has become
Of their world
A chill breeze flutters the leaves
And dries the pavement
It separates the clouds
And soon the sun peaks out
It's shimmers bring the children
Ready and eager to play
In the puddles and mud
School is out
Freedom is had
Within mother nature's bounty.


And still no mention of cheese.
