The rocking chair creaks its complaint gently to my ears

Crickets chirping lurid tunes that everyone can hear

Fireflys winking at me with their odd fluorescent glow

Bullfrogs singing loudly to the 'possum don't you know

Honeysuckle blossoms drip their sweetness on the breeze

Starlight kissing moonbeams floating far atop the trees

Raccoons bathe the repast of their crayfish by the brook

Whippoorwills croon to their mates "Come back to the nook"

Lightning brilliant stabs sudden blinding revelation

Thunder deafeningly roars witness to the nation

The hollow suddenly silent now springs back to life

Raindrops enormous wet and warm wash away my strife
