Allen Steble - *(Tornado)

It whirls and twirls
it twists and curls
as it picks up and hurls
everything in its path
this unpredictable weather phenomenon
who can know
the destructive tornado

It has its classes
one to five
one will rip out a large tree
five will demolish a small city
it teaches us one thing
no one can predict or know
this mighty force of nature
the destructive tornado

Next time you see one of these
turn and run the other way
the tornado only paves one path
'a path of destruction'
with no known course of direction
next time the wind blows
look out your window
there may just be a tornado
coming your way!

Allen Steble
