a storm chaser i could never be,
for i'm terrified of storms, you see,

when skies go black, i wanna hide,
where's a basement, someplace safe inside??

they wanna do it, they're on their own,
chasin' storms in the tornado zone,

leave me behind--i don't wanna die,
get picked up by the winds, blown sky high,

or watch lightning dancin' through the clouds,
jumpin' at thunder--it's very loud,

or watch the rain pouring, pouring down,
in flash floods, that's how most people drown,

a storm chaser's job is not for me,
chasin' storms scary...don't you agree?

the chicken in me would start to squalk,
storm chasin'? on that i'd have to balk!!

'sides, i think the storms are chasin' ME,
little ol', little stormphobic me!!

Wonderful poem Karla. The storms are horrible especially for those who are stormophobic. I'm sure it will go away. Just pray.

karla, thought, perhaps, you
had had a sudden conversion,
from stormophobe
to daring storm chaser...
yeah' right...
somtimes the best way we can deal
with our fears is to laugh at them--

good write

misty and i would both have to agree with you so much here! HA! funny write about a not so funny profession, and glad we don't do that for a living! can just see misty, autumn, you, or i chasing storms, then when the storms get the better of us, we would be combing the landscape, yellin', "WHERE'S A BASEMENT?? WHERE'S A BASEMENT??" glad we can be scared together when severe weather threatens...but wish it wouldn't happen at ALL here! :) (((HUGS))) and love, your twin, karen lynn. :)
