Jan Boles, Member 13,316, sent us his humorous cloud related limerick. We have paired it with an image of a curtain of precipitation falling from a storm system over Charlo, Montana, US by Ruth Quist.
A cloud spotter, known as Horatio,
Was keen on words rhyming with “ratio.”
He often would sigh,
Looking up at the sky,
“That’s not ‘rain,’ it’s ‘praecipitatio.’”

A western Cloud spotter named Quist
Loved poems that end with a twist
And spent many days
Admiring the ways
That clouds formed from pure airborne mist!
Corrected last line:
“ that made clouds so much nicer than mist”
Jan, way cute poem and how terrific it got paired with my Charlo photo. Guess we teamed up! Pretty exciting.
