Mischief

My whirligigs are whirling
Since the wind has come to call
And my windsocks’ arms are twirling
Like they’re gearing for a brawl.

The temperature is dropping 
Back to wintertime degrees
And the gusts will not be stopping
‘Til we all begin to freeze.

Mother Nature is enjoying
Making mischief these days; hence,
‘Tween the seasons we’ll be buoying
As she laughs at our expense.

Well, she was hilarious last night, in my city, a never-before-seen hurricane! I stayed with a friend instead of parking in front of the Marriott, the next morning A pine tree split a van just like mine in two--very unusual for California!
