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.

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.
