Freak Storm Smash

Last night heard bull-frogs whistling in the dark;

House top blown off, landed in Rockrose Park;

Winds pound glass panel like a steel-pan band;

Flash floods; pain and gore the scene in Bayland;

Strong winds broke doors, windows; hell on the loose;

All hearts grief for the death of old James Bruce;

Atlantic storms three months away, they say;

Global warming rides the world on its sleigh;

Storm with no name caused plane to land in tree;

Rain, wind, lightning soaked body wear with pee;

Last ad aired was “Husbands Solar Power”

Break, break, break, and thunder got much louder.
