Mr. Dismal, the Cloud

My nimble steps gently hit the ground,
And so do the tears of Mr. Dismal, the Cloud,
Burst burst burst, he bursts out loud!
A slow drizzle followed by a big blow-out.
I ask Mr. Drizzle why he's always so sad,
He told me that he was missing his dad,
A strict mom, no friends, and a cranky sibling,
Mr. Dismal, the Cloud is so full of feelings.
I let him cry for a while or two,
Until we reach a familiar zoo,
I show Mr. Dismal the animals in the cage,
Seeing their loneliness fills him with rage,
I tell him you're free and float without fear,
With other clouds in the troposphere
An aesthetic you are, and a curtain to the sky,
Hidden behind you, beautiful gems of light,
Why this sadness engulfs you then?
Mr. Dismal, please be happy again!
