Pop pop pop
Bang bang bang
The hale steadily beats down
on the car driving along the dark and lonely road
At dusk late in spring
Not keeping a solid rhythm
Clatter clatter
Pitter patter
It sounds like a popcorn popper
Expanding the inhabitants of the car into big balls
Which will be buttered, salted, and eaten
Crash crash
crunch crunch
The hale's getting bigger now
It's the size of golf balls
Pop pop pop
The popper is receiving more kernels
of unpopped popcorn
Crash crash
crash crash
Bang boom
bam bam
Oh no! the hale's the size of baseballs
We're not in a popper anymore
We're in the middle of war
Pitter patter
pitter patter
Now, we're in a concert
Cheering and clapping
Drip drop
drip drop
It's only rain again
And it's just the few of us here
Tweet tweet
Chirp chirp
The birds are back
The storm is over
The popcorn is finished

I swear, most of that onomatopoeia sounds like it's describing a drive-by shooting. Lmao!

I never thought of it like that tilll you said it. Lmfao. I remember the hail, and it sounded almost like that. It was really fucking nuts.

I love it sam, simple, but very discriptive.

It was a bit like a drive-by shooting. Lol. But I liked it.
