The Cloud Eclipse

April 8, 2021 Coined by Elia

Why do scientists chase the sun,
Hoping for the moon to block its view?
Maybe they do it just for fun,
Or maybe they don’t have a clue.
The phenomenon happened on New Year’s Day,
Ancients thought it was the apocalypse.
My daughter told us there was an easier way,
She just told me to watch a cloud eclipse.

When clouds are fluffy and clouds are soft,
Just make sure it is pretty sunny.
Soon they will be roughly high and aloft,
And stop looking like an Easter bunny.
Then for a moment, as they waft on by,
And soon will begin all the fun.
And in that moment you can ooh and sigh,
When the clouds block out the sun.
