Brick houses gone, wood houses gone
Family histories blown away
No photos or proof of life
2.8 billion dollars worth of damage

Devastation for a mile. 
One house standing, with debris 
Covering every inch of her yard.

Except for the one time he had a great fall

Which is why today is a big deal after all

Since Little Bo Peep...

Erstime, ere bards nor Wondering Joyceters 
did glybb their gobs with glanjous tongue, 
Sir Slip The Most (a Figleafmoistner)

taking bullets to the throat

the down blankets...

And vows to send all her rogues,
Not to the...
