Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Storm Chasers on the Loose Again

Come on! Is that the best blast you've got?
Your thunder tantrums don't scare me - Your flash and flare they're half hot!
I love this dunder, blunder, thunder, and underhand rumble-in-the-jungle!
Touché! Olé! We're duellin' again with fork-pronged lightn' sparkling lances.
Clang! Bang! Ker-pow! Ker-plunk! Ker-thump! - Your thunder's late by years!
I flash, bash, smash, crash, gnash — while your Ker-boom goes boom blah, blah, Ahah!
Your quick flashback, claptrap wisecracks come back five seconds late.
Bolt after bolt, your jolts, revolts, cheap-shots and pot-shots hit my ear flaps.
All roar, no score, no gore, no nosebleeds — just air stabs in ionized air.
By then your temper, torage, outrage, out in the garage is binned — You lost!
You ain't learned nothin' from last night's plate-a-smashin' dry run.
Oh No! Don't let the rain come down!
We're both having far far too much fun!
You can't resist, can you —  spoiling the perfect row — 
By making up, way, way, way ..... too soon!

Thanks very much - a lot of work. It consumed about 20 song tries to get the storm sounds to work OK. Also I had to invent words like 'rouw' in the lyrics because it pronounced 'row" as the thing you do to propel a boat. Got there eventually. So glad you liked it.

Loved both the wording and analogy. The audio ignited the storm.
