Hurricane watches all along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Apologies to Louis Armstrong - this HAD to be written. LOL

Poem Artwork

Hello, Dolly,
How are you, Dolly,
Don't want you coming 'round where you don't belong!
You're lookin' swell, Dolly,
I can tell, Dolly,
You're still growin', now you're moanin'
And you're gettin' strong.

And feel the room swayin'
to Outer bands, playin'
One of those windy songs from a-way back then ...
I'm a chicken, fellas,
Spine's turnin' to yella, fellas ...
Dolly, why don't you go away ...
Dolly, why don't you go away ...

Dolly, why don't you go away,
and don't ya come back again!!

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (7/21)

Karla,
Louis Armstrong would have been proud and believe me, the Louis "Hello Dolly" references were all over Houston radio, this morning. The heat we're experiencing here along the upper Texas coast, with Dolly still miles out to sea, is ungodly. The humidity, mixed with all of that air blowing off the warm Gulf water, is made it muggier than usual.
It looks like those of us in the Houston area will get a good, soaking rainstorm and not much else. I hope that's all we get; my Mom is in the hospital, now. I don't need anymore headaches than what I've had the last month and a half!
