Irma 9/9/2017
By Franklin Price

Since my last inscription 
Irma's moved on quite a lot
Today's the day she's moving north
To show us what  she's got

She now is over Cuba
Deciding what to do
With her eye on lower Florida
She's coming after you

She's been to many islands
Destroyed them one and more
Hit them with her Cat 5 winds
Deaths  are moving towards a score

Soon she's departing Cuba 
Moving  up across the keys
To tear up lots of buildings
And blow down many trees

With winds around 150
she's a category 4
Hot water in the Florida Straits
May make her five once more

She has no feeling for you
If you're there, please hunker down
If you're ordered to evacuate 
You best get out of town

Don't risk your lives and families
By keeping them in place
Irma's out to get you
To destroy your home and base.

Things are not worth dying for
Not worth  the thought to stay
May not be here tomorrow
For not leaving home today

I pray for all Floridians
Who are waiting for the beast
We still don't know direction
She could be moving West or East
