Notes About The Poem

Will Irma never end?

I Thought Irma Was Over

I Thought Irma Was Over

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
