My Two Nieces
Houses were battened
winds-rattled thunder
some homes were flattened
lives pushed asunder.
Pigs really did fly
through debris-filled air
as a tornado went by
left behind it despair.
Services held for those that were lost
try to pick-up the pieces
ascertain the cost.
With only one wall left
what happens to the leases ?
oh, by the way
have you seen my two nieces ?.
