built that will actually fly. This
tiny skycraft weighs only $50 pounds
and has a wingspread of only 1871

length of time necessary for lining
the machine up for flight it was
found impossible to take the baby

Raindrops from Heaven!

How we welcomed
Little raindrops
Dancing on the pavement
Hiding in the grass
Washing baby pansy faces
Giving the green trees
A bath.
But the sky
Continued weeping
A bad omen?
Lightning flashed.
And ripped wide open
Great dark clouds
Like Allah's wrath.
Down the rain came
In wild torrents
Thunder's deafening
Crashes screamed
Then rumbled
On to meet the next
Mad stabbing streak.

Stop this sobbing

But despite the
Jest and joking
Clouds we're ripped
And torn to bits
Until the world
Was drenched and dripping
We were begging
The downpour
To cease.
Mercy!
We prayed in supplication.
Good Allah heard
Our call
Then he gave two days of
Sunshine
But the nights
Brought on more rain.
Out of evil
Good must come
And after dark
There must be sun.

Finally made US
See the light
And we realized
That sleeping
Is the thing to do
At>night.
