Those Phony Tornado Warnings
Those Phony Tornado Warnings
By Elton Camp
The weather radio went off again
“Tornado warning,” it did begin
Tom flipped it off with irritation
“I truly hate that weather station.”
“For it’s ‘wolf’ they always cry.
But this time I’m not gonna buy.”
“It’s just that same old song.
Those dopes always get it wrong.”
Tom wouldn’t listen to it anymore
But in the distance came a roar
Through the window he took a peek
It was then that he began to shriek
For bearing right down on him
Was a sight frightening and grim
A funnel cloud was on the ground
Throwing storm debris all around
“Negligence, negligence! Tom did cry
For lack of warning I’m gonna die!
But he had the warning he did need
It was his fault that he didn’t heed
