A Hurricane's A'Comin'

A hurricane’s a’comin’ And my phone’s on high alert, With its piercing, grating warning To take care and not get hurt. My landlord sent a message To all tenants to remove Any items on the terrace; If I had one, I’d approve. Some events have been postponed And others switched or rearranged While each hour the weather forecast Has been fiddled with and changed. So tomorrow we’ll find out If all the hype was well-deserved As we wake to see the banquet Mother Nature will have served.

I hope that you did not have a hurricane but I am glad "A hurricane’s a’comin’ And my phone’s on high alert, With its piercing, grating warning To take care and not get hurt." that you have the alarm.

Another delightful poem, Ilene! We do not get hurricanes like those in Malta, but I know how much devastation they are capable of causing. In your case it's best to be prepared than be sorry! ~ Warm regards // paul
