I Am a Storm

I always wonder in a philosophical way Who I am? Does God have my dossier? I exist, of this I am sure The IRS calls yearly asking for more I dreamed of being Poet and King Seems one has to be Royal to wear that ring The purpose of life, well seems so unsure A night out with me though, is never a bore I have painted towns red, as I drowned in last calls I always had company, cute lasses and dolls Life is full of twists and turns There is no map as we are led to the urn I was quite surprised, at this time in my life To find out my fate is to bring you all strife So batten the windows And board up your doors For I am full of wind and hot air I shall come from the sea and I am on a tear I am Arthur, no poet or King I am the Hurricane, and its hell that I bring July 4. 2014, Arthur became a Category 2 hurricane Thursday evening. The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted it would swipe the coast early Friday with winds of up to 136 km/h.

Nice Arthur nice; I heard all about you causing all kind of destruction on the Carolinas . I was praying that you wouldn't come to Texas. Thanks - I think you heard me. Blessings always... Lucilla

Lol, if it became a 5 and destroy everything in sight like Andrew, you would be remembered forever, Arthur :) Ha, let's hope not. Don't know if you want to be remembered that way, haha

Maybe that's why they called it Arthur, so everyone would be safe and sound and soon forget all about it!

You are a welcome storm, my friend. When the cleanup is done and all the words and punctuation are swept into a pile the result is an Arthur Vaso poem. Very well done. Enjoyed it.... Robert.
