Out from the blue sky,
Blooms a cloud that cries.
Oh! So very sad,
I cannot be mad.

Your life is with me,
You see.
So why you cry
So deep.
Take it easy
When you feel queasy.
Don’t get cranky,
Which no one likes.
The crying cloud suddenly stops,
It sees,
all the people filled with happiness.

The cloud smile’s,
It’s heart opens wide.
And from a cloud,
It’s a Sun.
Shining bright with joy.
It’s a merryful way,
To start your day.
And keep this in your heart!!!

I just saw a pug fall from the sky
I went to look over and by my surprise
I saw 1,000 pugs
I kissed them and cuddled them
’til I was worn out
but then I thought
did they put on cuteness spray
because now I remember
how much I hate pugs
because I am
AHH-AHH-AHH-CHOO-ergic
