Evicted

Mike Mokes was a devoted couch potato. It started only months out of the cradle. He had found his groove And refused to move. 'Til his house was hit by a tornado.

Tornadoes do have a habit of moving things Paul - Lindsay

Thanks for commenting, Lindsay. Why are tornadoes so ill-behaved? It's my understanding that Aussies won't put up with them.

Thank you, Suzanne. I've never been in a tornado, although I once rode in a car made by Oldsmobile that had a similar name. I think the competition blew it away.
