An Alabama Riot
An Alabama Riot
By Elton Camp
When one thing comes to be true,
Hysteria, almost chaos, will ensue
For the only thing that it does take
Is to see just a single snowflake
How to deal with snow, we don’t know
Our reaction will be certain, though
It’s to the store in a wild, mad dash
Clutching credit card or some cash
All the bread and milk will disappear
Long before the snowfall draws near
From the shelves, batteries we jerk
To make sure our flashlights work
If a blizzard should happen to come
We will be prepared, and then some
At most, there’s a dusting on the grass
And then the “winter storm” will pass
