Ike

Ike is headed for the coast
and it looks like we will soon be host

to his power, fury and rage
and his landfall will make front page

we are trying to decide whether to stay or leave
the media tries to make us believe

that there is no way to safely stay
and if we do we will surely pay

but we have stayed before and may again
we just have to prepare and have a plan

which is what we will be working on today
and then we'll see if we go or stay

so we will hoard water and canned goods
just like we know we should

we'll board up the windows nice and tight
and pray we make it through tomorrow night

keep us in your thoughts and prayers
and we'll soon let you know how we fare
