I'm still going as long as Irma goes.

Irma and Florida By Franklin Price 9/10/2017 - 10:07 AM We're watching several channels To determine what's for real Reporters on the outside, In the wind and rain's ideal The place now is Miami Presentation there's the best Storm surge rising in the streets Wind and rain are reaching crest Palm trees show the blowing winds Waves rock and roll the boats Around low lying castle homes Are quickly rising moats Thousands have lost their power Many trees are blowing down The outer bands of Irma Have come to South Beach town 11:19 AM Irma won down in the Keys Has hurricane flags unfurled The newsmen are reporting That she's off to Disney World 12:01PM News flash, Irma's heading for The greater Tampa Bay Will keep her eye just off the coast doing damage all the way Forgot to pick up cigars In Cuba 'fore the cay May pick up some in Ebor When tomorrow is today It's reported in Miami The wind's a hundred miles an hour Two bikers riding on the street Pushed by the blowing power The reporter spies them as they ride Says how stupid they must be It astounds me why they're riding Should be inside, not like me. 5
