Playing tag with lightening Can be very frightening. Being touched by a volt Can give quite a jolt, And it's hard to have fun When one's cooked over done.
Lightning is frightening there's no two ways about it stay away and enjoy the scene from indoors!
I arrived to visit my daughter here in New York in a thunderstorm ..just as I came up out of the subway to a great lightning and thunder display at the end of the A train and the end of a very long trip from Australia. Walking back two blocks to their apartment in the storm through the lightning was one of the scariest things!
My husband was accidentally electrocuted ,many years ago, so I have a healthy respect for large voltages!

ps You might enjoy my images of New York that I have been taking while I am here and putting on my blog..since I am leaving for home on Monday.
I might bump into you in Melbourne when I come to visit my son and daughter in law and their little family , as well as my sister who lives in lovely leafy Eltham! Melbourne is a lovely city..I especially love going to the tennis in January, and my sister enjoys taking me on her native plant outings!
ps. I love your blog, David , it is such a great way to keep up with the latest..thanks for all the hard work you do for us! I do so enjoy checking in almost every day, even if I don't leave many comments! When I get back I am looking forward to finding your book and reading it!
pps I also love the buskers, esp here in NY...when I go thru the subway stations, I dont want to ever go back to OZ!
"Flash" Gordon was quite the man When it came to being a lightning fan He didn't find it frightening And instead rejoiced in the sky brightening. Best hope he doesn't get a nasty jolt Next time he gets too close to a favourite fiery bolt.
We get an unusual amount of lightening and have those old fashioned lightening rod spikes attached to our roof with the line grounded. It does help!

Can give quite a jolt,
And it's hard to have fun
When one's cooked over done.
Lightening can strike anywhere
ReplyDeleteYou can just stand and stare
Or you can run & hide from it
Not under a tree lest you get hit.
