sittin' on the dock of my Bay
wonderin' "hey Rita, you comin' my way?"
wish you'd stay far away
Rita, i don't wanna' play

right now i don't know
which way your gonna' blow
but each day you still grow
hey Rita just GO!

each day your winds gain
each day you send more rain
Rita, don't be a pain
Rita, don't make my life insane

sittin' on the dock of my Bay
hopin' Rita don't come my way
don't want the wind & rain
Rita, don't be My hurricane

I was thinking about you when they said Rita was going to Galveston. Steve - take cover. Evacuate. I am telling you, in the 25 years I've lived in Florida, the hurricanes have not been as big and mean as the ones that have come through this year and last. These are BIG AND BAD storms. So really, I wish you would go inland. Great poem. ~ Sara

It's ok for Rita to stay away. What would it profit her to be become your hurricane? Deadly. Good write. I love the ryhming beat.
