Will Irma never end?

I Thought Irma Was Over By Franklin Price 9/11/2017 – 5:26 PM I thought Irma was over When she turned right at the coast To cross the width of Florida With an eye I thought was toast She made it although wounded Winds out four hundred miles She kicked the ass of Jacksonville And took away their smiles She left and headed northward Pounding Georgia's coast and Isles The Okefenokee swamp Had hunkered down it's crocodiles She then kept on to Charleston Water surged in streets and ways I'll not think she's gone again Looks like thinking never pays It would not surprise me If she headed out to sea And got her wits about her And came back after me I'd hunker down in Asheville A very sheltered blue ridge town I'm sure the mountains would not stop her She'd scream right in and blow them down I'm hoping she won't read this And decide to come my way I would much appreciate it If she went to sea today Headed to where the water's cold To take away her fuel Looks like that's the only way She will die and end this duel
