Tornado Warning
Yesterday evening
There was a tornado warning
Mom went into
"End of the world" mode
I sat there
Feeling nothing
Annoyed
That my best friend is far away
And the friends I have here are being jerks
Well, some of them are
Tornado watch
CFCN news tracking the clouds
Don't they realize that clouds are free spirits?
Almost wanting a tornado to come
Wisking me away to OZ
On the way, I would make stops at
Neverland
Wonderland
The Land of the Midnight Sun
Middle Earth
Disneyland
Hogwarts
And then of to OZ
To play with lions and straw
And metal that ticks with a heart beat
But what if I accidentally
Scared the lion?
Burnt the straw?
Broke the metal's artificial heart?
Visit the wizard
And never figure out his secret?
What would the point be in going?
I'd just mess it up anyway
And besides
If I had left
I never would have seen
That beautiful
Vibrant
Soft
Rainbow that arched in the sky
Rainbows don't exist in OZ
Musical Quote of the Day
"It's a nice day
If you wake up in Disneyland"
-Five for Fighting CD: The Battle for Everything Track: 7 Title: Disneyland
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm running late.
