Who Names The Hurricanes
|
|
All along the lighthouse reef
|
the turmoil sweeps in the soil and weeps its beef
|
with a lack of warning--Hey you
|
Can't you read the signs
|
Cartwheeling reams of trees
|
They sound their dreams as they whistle by
|
|
This weather uncaged--destroy
|
Mother of Troy an ancient god
|
descends upon the land
|
and backhands the once serene
|
|
Sound their dreams as they whistle by
|
|
She's all the rage
|
Who names the hurricanes
|
|
Who mops up the sea and rings out
|
the devil in a torn dress
|
What will they name her
|
What will she call him
|
Whirlwind of a woman--this defiant one
|
who knows no sympathy for the weak
|
She turns her other cheek
|
|
To my feeble plea
|
and my destiny
|
|
She's all the rage
|
Who names the hurricanes
|
|
Call it Catherine
|
Dash with a flash in the pan
|
Or Constance
|
with hell bent fury on man
|
Try David
|
He's a classic machismo
|
|
Gail suits a catastrophic swipe of a steel brush
|
Hush--hush
|
She writes history and leaves no mystery
|
As the wane moon unfolds and spills the hearts of a
|
thousand beaus on ones who came before
|
|
Who comes from a dead hot fog
|
straight outta Hermuda
|
Like a colossal electric shaver
|
clipping a billion trees
|
transporting exotic birds to unfamiliar surrounds
|
You resign to read the signs
|
Up go the dread red flags
|
Who's to blame
|
What's in a name
|
|
She's all the rage
|
Who names the hurricanes
|
|
What's in a name and who's to blame
|
You can't resist these winds of fame
|
Dub it Diana--eye at the quiet core and more
|
Jeannie--a soft warm breeze 'til she sneeze
|
Unearthing Eva--you musta believa
|
Hunkraven Hannah--has spumed yo face
|
Alexandria--black browed savage grace
|
Shirley burley bannana fanna fo fury
|
Roxanne--the gusty tramp turns the sun into a sickly orb
|
I'm amped!
|
Madeline's the name they call the torrents of rain
|
that maul my brain--she's insane!
|
Cyclone Gladys--the goddess oh so maddess
|
Typhoon June's the tag they put on a force
|
such as this
|
Who would name a storm Bruce
|
Only one whose ass is lose
|
Calling Camille--her howling hazards of late ravage
|
the ground like an atom bomb
|
Hugo--you go boy!
|
Hurricane Roy-oy oy!
|
Big Bertha--have mertha
|
|
