Corpus Christi Twister

A powerful Super Tornado Slammed down in my home 
town of  
Corpus Christi, Texas Several Summers back, or So  Swirled and Slashed
through town like Satan himself was Spewin’ and Slingin’ Sweet Texas farm 
Sod at anything Standing. The Silver Sand of South Padre Island Sparkled in 
the Sky while it stripped paint to bare metal. Our little Farm House Started 
Shaking and Sliding and Spinning and Spinning and Spinning and more
Spinning, Spinning, Spinning, Spinning and Spinning, Still Spinning
and Spinning and Spinning and Spinning and Spinning, Spin, and
Still Spinning, Spin, Spin, Spinning and Spinning, Spinning, Spin
and Still Spinning and Spinning and Spinning and Spinning and
Spin, Spin, Spin and Still Spinning and Spinning Still Spinning
would we ever Stop Spinning and Spinning and Spinning, 
Spin, Spin and Spinning Still Spinning and Spin Some 
more, Still more Spinning, and then more Spinning 
and Spinning. Then  BOOM!  STOP! Whoa, Still                                  
Spinning, I’m dizzy, So dizzy  everything 
Spinning,  I’m So dizzy I can’t Stop 
Spinning.   It’s  been Seven years, 
Six months  and Seventeen days 
Since the 2006 Corpus Christi 
Twister and my head Still                                                                             
Spins. Good news is, I 
 got a new job, and 
I love it. What is it
 you ask? Name’s 
Spencer, Sign 
Spinner For
