El nino
El Niño
Your phone beeps
At midnight;
TORNADO watch/warning
Your area!
For the next 8 hours
The Lord giveth,
The Lord taketh away.
Sunshine, lolly-pops
And rainbows.
Raindrops tap-dancing
On a metal roof.
Storm clouds gather
Over the gulf;
El Niño coming for
breakfast.
Thunder, thunder, thunderation
It'The devil's incarnation.
His balls, made of brass,
Lightening shoots out his ass.
Close the windows
Pull the shades
Do not venture out-of-doors.
If in a trailer you reside
There's no safe place
For you to hide.
Hear the train acomin'
Roaring round the bend,
Twisting, turning, thrummin'
Warning off the end.

Oh yes, El Nino rocks up down our way, too with cyclones, tornadoes and other uncivilised behaviour.
Beautiful poem. Lucky you, being in the South now.
