The Thirsty Ogre<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

It’s a bird! It’s a cloud! No!!!<o:p></o:p>

It’s a single drop of rain!!!<o:p></o:p>

There’s something falling upon my face,<o:p></o:p>

It feels like water but just a small trace.<o:p></o:p>

Oh how I wish that the rains would soon come,<o:p></o:p>

And cover up this orb of a hot blistering sun.<o:p></o:p>

Oh come on rains, where are you now?<o:p></o:p>

That last little mist couldn’t wet my unibrow.<o:p></o:p>

I’m just an old ogre looking for a nice cool bath,<o:p></o:p>

The road was dusty along my six month path.<o:p></o:p>

The autumn's hunt turned out to be real fair,<o:p></o:p>

The stores are now ready for winters bare.<o:p></o:p>

Flat on my back lying in tall grass,<o:p></o:p>

Looking up at clouds then watching them pass.<o:p></o:p>

I’ve picked my berries and hoed my fields,<o:p></o:p>

The harvest moon increased all of my yields.<o:p></o:p>

A chickadee lights gently upon my hand,<o:p></o:p>

As bellies are full now and life here is grand.<o:p></o:p>

But, there’s only one thing that I need to gain,<o:p></o:p>

Is a pretty sea ogress with buckets of abundant rain.<o:p></o:p>
