Pictures in the Clouds

What is that, up in the sky?
Shimmering from the sun's light?

Floating in a sea of atmosphere?
Can I touch it, for it seems so near?

A dog, maybe. No wait! A cat!
Chasing some yarn, or maybe a rat!

And there is a lion, so big and fierce!
With a golden mane flowing 'round his ears!

And next to him, there stands a deer,
panting to get a drink by the pier.

His tongue laps out so gracefully,
As he lifts his head and bends his knee.

And then, in all of his majesty,
A mighty whale skims across the sea!

The King of the Ocean is what he is called,
We called him something else, and he balled!

So many wonderful shapes to see!
They are magnificent to me!

So, oh! How hard it is to bear!
That all I'm looking at is air!
