the air cooled rapidly when the sun set
overcrowded water molecules huddled together for warmth
enjoying the invisibility of living in a vapor
floating around with the other gasses in the air
basking in the warmth of the sun
having all day parties and texting selfies up to friends in the clouds
as the cooling air became super saturated fights broke out
the nitrogen gang turned nasty and demanded the water molecules leave now
the oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules soon joined in
water molecules were rounded up and evicted
vigilantes hunted them down and kicked them out of the vapor phase
bleary eyed beaten up water molecules woke up as a liquid
not a mighty river or a huge lake gathering
just tiny clumps of liquid hanging in the still night air
they clung together and formed a new gang
we are now a menacing fog declared their leader
our mission is to blanket everywhere and create mayhem
they flowed over fields and rivers seeking mischief
pausing over roadways to steal any residual heat from the ground
seeking out vehicle headlights and banding together to reflect back the light
they partied all night in their suspended liquid phase
heavy drinking and substance abuse was rife
they were all hung over and sleeping when the sun came up
the warming air created empty spaces
the nitrogen molecules started yelling first
hey water molecules we miss you guys come back and join us
one by one the damp drunken water molecules jumped back into their vapor space
soon the fog gang was all gone
the other gasses in the air let them sleep it off
those crazy water molecules said the oxygen
they party here all day then get drunk in the fog
they never learn and they will probably will do it all over again
