Post No. 108: For My Favorite Kind of Weather


(Image from Pinterest)

Crash of Lightning! Hooves of Thunder!
(Or, "The Buffalos Must Be Dancing")

Be not afraid, My Dear Children,
for all that bright prancing and loud
clapping and is not just a thunderstorm
that you are experiencing... For, you can be
sure that "The Buffalos Must Be Dancing!"

Because you can hear their joyous cavorting
for miles, as they swing about the very skies
they two-step under! It's the click of their
heels which calls out to you, "Crash of
Lightning! Hooves of Thunder!"

For, they celebrate the dancing of
everything that is square; They are the
callers of all of the swinging that is tight;
They have come with their bow and fiddle;
They are shindigging left and right!

There is no denying their power; Their
passion reveals love's excitation; They are
the lovers of life who are dancing cheek to
cheek in so many romantic situations!

As "dancing stars," chances are, that they
have the power to romance us, which truly
keeps us admiring—because they are "The
Happy Hoofers," who celebrate life and
inspire the expressions that we are desiring!

Their loving purpose is known by all! By their
soulful sounds, you can go romancing! When
when you see and hear them, you will hoot and
holler, "The Buffalos Must Be Dancing!"
