Henry the Storm

Henry The Storm

By Connie James

Ohh, Henry!
You've done it again, losing your rag.
Temper, haven't I told you before
To curb your acts of violence...
I can see the destructive nature in you
Why must you act dastardly
When you can not get, your way
Blue in the face holding your breath
Ominously I'll know what's on its way.
Erupting like a volcano, you'll blow and blow.
A tornado, a whirlpool's imminent
Stop it, Henry, stop it!!
Just quietly go and play in the woods.
It'll do you good, you know!!
Just curb your ways!
But listen, Henry would not.
Standing, holding his breath.
His lungs about to burst...
Oh, dear Lord!
It's starting again...
He'll blow and blow with a vengeance!
Stop it, Henry, stop it!!
Can't you see the devastation before you?
Uprooting trees
And the rain Henry!
Why must you let it rain too
Won't just the wind do?
The vehicles on the highway
Why must you play,
Flipping them every which way
Scattering for all to see
The power of Henry!
You're a bad boy, Henry
you're a bad boy!!
Enough Henry, enough!!
We want to see not, roofs flying by.
Vehicle floating like toys!
And for that matter
Cows we want not to see
Flying through the air
Imagine!
If they'll decide to go
That'll teach you if it falls on you
But Henry heed he took not
Would listen not...
About to burst, red in the face was he!
The control he could not help this feeling.
Exuding through, he...
As he opens his bellows, blows and blows
Dastardly he'd blow...
His eyes blue cold as ice, in their intensity!!
That whirlwind like a funnel,
Tornados, imminently...
Must stop, must calm you.
Throwing my mantle over you
Holding you tight was all I could do
The sun's peeping through now, Henry!!
Look about you Henry, look about you
Your temperament will be the ruination of you
Abate, you must do...
Pay heed, not those that mock you
We know that you're, powerful
Abate, you must, that power
Within, you...
