Oh Snap!

Oh Snap!
when the children woke up the earth had a gap,
and there were branches everywhere,
There was talk of a tornado rolling through town,
The anxiety grew and they just wanted to look around,
The chaos and debris made them exclaim,
"Oh snap!"  without any blame,
The wreckage prompted them to flee,
covering their heads with baseball caps,
They ran briskly,
fearing the tornado may be following behind,
In the velocity of the twirling winds the kids knew
there was no place to hide,
If the rain comes again they will surely freak,
outrunning the fierceness of nature's outrageous 
peak,
A time for cool takes a holiday,
The children prefer to "go geek" all the way.
