The Day the World Refused To Shine

The sun didn't shine that day
Birds refused to sing
The sky was black with anger
Poets couldn't rhyme

She was a happy girl
Her parents loved her so
While asleep in her fluffy bed
She sat straight up CRASH!

The moon didn't shimmer
The stars were onyx
The flowers didn't grow
And grass didn't turn green.

The girl thought she was alone
Without a friend in sight
Then her Uncle came
To take her in the night.

Dogs didn't whine
Cats didn't pounce
Fish didn't swim
And birds didn't take flight.

As the girl grew older
She met an incredible man.
They married under
The pale moon light.

Suddenly the grass sprouted
Jumping towards the sky!
The sun gleamed luminosity
Across the cold, dark sky.

The young lady had a trio of children
Crawling up her legs
Her husband gently gave her a peck
And embraced her sweet frame.

Suddenly the world came to life
Poets dreamed and lovers rejoiced.
The world was fresh again
And the girl was ecstatic.
