                                              No one thought it would really matter,
                                              Giving temporal brain cells a scatter,
                                              The changeover is psychologically unclean.

The gales, the lightning, the rain,
But, I just fear being blown out to sea,
By the nasty hurricane,

And though  your words cause me some pain,
I know that  I'll be around another day,
To run away  from  another hurricane.
