Poetry
  • Louder Than a Clap of Thunder  By: Jack Prelutsky
  • Louder than a clap of thunder,
    louder than an eagle screams,
    louder than a dragon blunders,
     or a dozen football teams,
    louder than a four alarmer,
    or a rushing waterfall,
    louder than a knight in armor
    jumping from a ten-foot wall.
    Louder than an earthquake rumbles,
    louder than a tidal wave,
    louder than an ogre grumbles
    as he stumbles through his cave,
    louder than stampeding cattle,
    louder than a cannon roars,
    louder than a giant's rattle,
    that's how loud my father SNORES!
