“The Weather Zoo,” Friend, Feb. 1991, 21
The Weather Zoo
FOG is a great gray elephant
on a runaway skateboard,
rolling in at breakneck speed—
Stay out of its way!
RAIN is a porcupine
spearing the earth
with its wet quills.
SNOW is a feathery fat bird
flying light … and slow … and low.
The SUN is a friendly yellow lion
with a pointed starry mane,
smiling at the world.
