Hurricane Holiday (a poem)

Hurricane Ida stopped in to say hello
She brought with her some rain
Vivian laughed in her face though
She asked Ida, "Is this just a game?"

Stuck inside, Viv used the down time
To practice her table surfing skills
She threw in a few dance moves too
Making mama crazy, ready to pop pills.

A few gusts of wind arrived
The dog went nuts like in any storm
Should we watch Elmo for a third time today?
I don't know, I'm feeling a bit torn.

Thank gawd the fridge is packed
Red wine and twelve cans of beer
I need to get out of this hotel room
Or I will seriously lose it, I fear!!

---------------------
The sky looked clear
So into the truck we hopped
We passed through downtown streets
Had lunch at a coffee shop.

We then drove to our future home
The owner finally removed the for-sale sign
Gosh we can't wait to move in next week
I can't believe this beauty will be mine!

After singing songs (and naming body parts)
Back to the hotel went Kirk, Viv and me
I guess I should thank Ida for this day
A hurricane holiday spent with family.
