Goodbye Bill
Can attempt to sing it
using the melody from
Wedding Bell Blues by
the 5th Dimension.
Goodbye Bill, we loved you so,
blew the gentle rain in slow,
but it's time for you to go.
Overstayed your visit,
like a bad house guest,
created weatherman panic,
and all the soaking rest.
Your training bands were healthy,
and filled the bucket and the bill.
But it's time you got on out of here,
our rivers have had their fill.
Haven't seen the sun,
for many days in a row.
Bill, why are you so lazy?
Why are you so slow?
They said you were a menace,
would create a biblical flood.
You stayed around forever,
but your flood became a dud.
You know, we'll always love you,
A soggy blessing in disguise.
But Bill, you really were a drag,
a lot of blow, but no surprise.
We like our storms to be nasty,
we like to ignore, then panic and run.
The only thing that you did, Bill,
was consistently block the sun.
So goodbye Bill, and good riddance,
Move on and spinoff to other climes.
Go hit the Midwest to Northeast hard,
while here, the sun still shines.

I like the personalization of the weather event establishing a human-like rapport. I literally see you in a video-taped performance (another coup or you?), your hands of the wheels, rocking, spinning, delivering your lyrics. DO it!
You've hit the top 100 hits on this poem.
Greatly enjoyed.

When I first moved south I never dreamed I be caught in a hurricane
That year we got hit by 4 hurricane. And we withstood them all
Only lost 10 roof shingles......... God was watching over us
Peace be with u
