The clouds assembled<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a serried shape<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlined with a sunlit brush<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That drew my sight<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may have still had a tune<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Zeppelin echoing in my ear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the pairing was not unusual,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A surprise, but not unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They mounted to the sky<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And seemed to invite a journey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of discovery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see if that fabled pot of gold<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had been misplaced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And set in the sky above me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Struck by the improbability of it all,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to write these lines<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate my good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
