POEM FROM MY CHILDHOOD

"What take an umbrella on such a fine day, said the elf to his mother & frowned"

"Just look at the sunshine so golden & gay & the sky is quite blue all around"

So off he went skipping in new suit of yellow

But before he had gone very far

There blew up a crowd, an enormous big fellow

"You know what these April clouds are"

Then down came a shower that Pelted & Stung

and soaked the poor elf,

With a sigh, he hung out the tunic & knickers to dry

But alas, when he tried to get dressed

He found they had shrunk in the soft April rain, 

& he had to walk home in his vest

So now pray be careful since April is here

That you are not caught like the elf

WHEN THERE'S A CLOUD

THAT'S ABOUT TO COME NEAR

GO HURRY & SHELTER YOURSELF
