Irma Pulled a Fast One

Irma Pulled a Fast One By Franklin Price 9/11/2017 – 6:07AM Irma pulled a fast one Just before I closed my eyes Took a right turn to the East To sooner see the sun arise Was supposed to go to Tampa Get a cigar there to chew Now she's wrecking Jacksonville Her new direction's nothing new Was not supposed to go there Was to head for Alabam Once again surprised predictors Jacksonville now gets the slam Passed Daytona Beach's race track A responders' prepping pad On the way out of the state Had to see just what they had Her blurry eye was very close Winds blew and rains came down She made their jobs more daunting As she headed out of town In Jacksonville a record surge. In the Saint John's river way Irma was not done with us That's her record for today Has affected all of Florida Six million without power Trees knocking down transmission lines A new record every hour She's still exceeding records Wind speed. over time was set It was a new world record One of many she would get She is still not through with us On this day the towers fell She, as nature's terrorist Still makes our lives a living hell
