(C) The clouds overhead began to murmer
(J) With fervour they gathered while murmuring further
About one young cloud - a suspected usurper
Blending into the crowd like a highly trained gherka
They all formed a merger, and agreed if they found her they all now would spurn her
Unnerved she would flounder, resoundingly beaten
They treated her meanly and pounded her streaks in
Their keeness a weakness she'd need to defeat them
She summoned up thunder for now she was seething
And breathing her hatred she tore them asunder
Once evaporated to sun and to firmament
Further she went and declared herself permanent
Herding new servants as far as her journey went
Bent on possession, she looked to the land
And sensed some dissention in how it was manned
Now the grandest of plans 'gan to form in her mind
She'd be to these people a thorn in the side
In disguise alongside them, she'd shortly reside
Then enlisting her wisps she would force them all blind
But she missed in all this a young girl of great kindness
Who fell to her knees and said "please don't your highness
My people are feeble and need your protection
Your gaseous vapour, your gentle convection
You let them: They'll love you!"
She broke down and wept then
The rending of tears from her nebulous cheeks
Did impeach the cloud empress who felt herself weaken
She senses that her friendlessness had made her evil
Repentently bent she to speak to the people
"O potent souls to you I bow
Your power I somehow forgot to allow
As you see I'm a cloud who right now is quite lonely
Please show me a way I can set up my home here."
"Well I 'spose if she's here then the sky will be mo' clear"
So reasoned the folks to whose ears she had pleaded
A purpose built cloudhouse was quickly conceded
Our heroine gifted with all that she needed
From thenceforth all people and clouds lived together
In tandem enjoying the newfound good weather.
