Yellow Rain

Yes, I once wandered as a cloud.

Wistful, streaming from east to west.

Once did I hover a moment.

Over some humans acting badly.

There, upon these human animals

I relaxed, and released whatever moisture

I'd been holding.

Yes, one might say I rained upon them.

I'd rather express it a bit more indiscreetly.

The thought made me smile.

As they all ran to hide their heads.

It was such a relief!

I then moved on

As the cloud that I was.
