Movable Force
The sea churned and spewed forth a mighty roar
As the funnel formed in the not so far distance
I admired the beauty, but feared to the core
As my feet, to stay, offered resistance
T’is just a fool who would stay out this storm
It’s smarter to take shelter or even hide
No, I didn’t want to incur any harm
To where, is what I must decide
To the schools, ah yes, they were built brick by brick
There’s strength in the building, surely it is safe
Though the storm brewed oh, so very thick
As upon me then fell a twenty foot wave
My breath, my heart, I panicked, but yet I tried
I did my best to acquire as much air as I could
Successfully escaping the depths, I then cried
And ran as far away as I knew I then should
