Clap-Clap, All Gone

Me tell big plane we do good-good drop and me pull the “uh-oh” handle. The little boy go tumbling down singing bye-bye song and me clap-clap. Then big boom and city go bye-bye all at once. Toys and people and noises go shhh-shhh. Big mushy cloud pop up like bad baby flower, puff puff puff. It growed so big it blocked sky. Me rock and coo and clap-clap while underneath never wakey-wake again.
