Hurricane on the Plains

Mother Nature’s ‘Bomb Cyclone’ haircut

I’ve never been in a hurricane before until today yet I live thousands of miles from the nearest ocean

The police warned everyone to not go out-of-doors today lest they be konked on the noggin by flying debris

Looking out my window I see tree branches everywhere on the ground Mother Nature was in a tree-pruning mood

We all need pruning I know I do but I’d rather schedule an appointment

Sometimes we wait too long to make an appointment so Mother Nature steps in

Sometimes we forget to change so change steps in and we act surprised

All we can do is clean up the mess so we can proceed down the road

So that everyone will see our new ‘do’ and attitude and compliment the new us

And we forget to thank the brutal hand of nature that really deserves the credit
