ON Monday the weather was fine and bright, Three fine days and a thunderstorm! On Tuesday the floods had reached their height, And a hurricane blew on Wednesday night, And the land was a swamp and a dismal sight— Three fine days and a thunderstorm! On Thursday the dogs all panting lay, Three fine days and a thunderstorm! And sunstroke settled two boys at play. On Friday the winter had come to stay— Three fine days and a thunderstorm! On Saturday snow was a good foot high, Three fine days and a thunderstorm! On Sunday there fell from the jet-black sky A deluge that covered the mountains high; And to-day in a tropical sun we fry— Three fine days and a thunderstorm! |
