I just read a book,

Called “Category Seven”,

Of catastrophic stories I seem to like,

What with hurricanes like Katrina,

And just this past weekend, Ike…

Then I dream of even a Cat five,

Hitting New Jersey and such,

I am but inland but miles thirty-5,

A good high gust of wind,

And away would blow Rufuz & I,

A trailer slash motorhome,

Is no place to live with winds very much…

Scary though thoughts like that may be,

I know it will come one day again, you’ll see,

Where in this great land should I move,

I think there is no place safe totally in this whole country,

So I guess that Rufuz & I would be just so much debris...
