Irma

Irma came to terrorize
Spawned in the East Atlantic
Intensity as never seen
She's something quite Satanic
Became a category five
Before she touched the shore
With winds above one eighty
Around the wall and more
Came into the Leewards
Destroyed Barbuda Isle
Buildings, trees and autos
Left them rubble in a pile
What about the people
They hid and hunkered down
Some no longer with us
No longer are around
There was no stopping Irma
With that flat and tiny place
She set sights on bigger things
And Florida is the place
Along the way are other islands
To be pummeled with effect
Residents are praying
That Irma won't connect
Likewise within the Sunshine State
The people kneel and pray
That Irma veers before them
Turns north and moves away
Predicted there by Saturday
September nine will tell
The weather men a little stumped
When and where she rings the bell
God, please protect the people
As big Irma makes the fall
Protect our friends and family
And the people one and all

Lies in the large area of Atlandic deep
Betwixt Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda
A creepy, frightening, and mysterious reef
Formed the devil's triangle above atoll Barbuda
The heavily travelled shipping lanes of the globe
Where vessels vanished in mystic circumtances
Region where aircrafts routinely fly over and rove
But skippers and aviators still believe in chances
With the shot in the arm of weather satellites fly
Seen and noticed the unusual hexagonal clouds
Experts in atmospheric phenomena decrypt the sky
Hoped to save from deadly blast of water-air shrouds
