Pictures in the Clouds
by Heather Bartlett

What do I see in the sky?
Clouds! Clouds! Moving slowly by and by.
Wait, I think I see shapes!
A lion, a bear, heroes in boots and capes!
Great big silly clowns,
And lumpy figures with huge frowns!
I see an eagle’s head, so very proud and tall,
Its eyes, though, are very, very small.
I see a reindeer and sleigh,
And Santa coming with his toys to say hey,
A lobster, a parrot, and a great big fish,
I spot a cup, a spoon, and a round little dish.
Do you see it too?
It’s a huge kangaroo!
What is that I spy?
It is lighting up the sky!
A flying saucer coming near,
It’s coming over here!
Look! A martian! He is so cute!
I think he is maybe mute!
He doesn’t make a peep,
Oops! I fell asleep!
