Dark gray clouds bottom out the sky,
They carpet the day with promise of rain,
Somewhere I thought I heard a seagull cry,
Or it might have been an overhead plane.
The weather is frowning, its grim and calm,
I hear the wind as it starts to blow strong,
Crazy woman next door singing a psalm,
She likes to walk around wearing a thong.
Its as dark as nighttime out there today,
Everyone who has a choice are inside,
And those who are religious start to pray.
Is this how it will look if the world died?

The crazy lady has all her lights on,
Still walking around wearing a red thong.

Gee Jerry which looks worse the weather outside or your neighbor? Or was the neighbor the bright side of the day?

I tried to reply to this earlier today while I was at work, but couldn't. THE NERVE.

What I was going to say, is that when I read this, it was fixing to storm outside - and I love the "just before the storm". And truly, I like the contrast in the image in my mind of the dark brooding before a storm and the red thong.
