Tornadoes in Dallas

Summary: Dallas had a few tornadoes. Of all the days to be away from a computer, this wasn't the one. Thanks to the Dallas Morning News for this fantastic image.

And now, the poem:

Tornadoes hit in Dallas. I was out
Returning merchandise when they appeared,
Was looking at my phone, and quickly feared
My spouse’s family had been about
In public, or the open, when it came.
And, fearing for her worry, I began
To call repeatedly the very man
Receiving other queries, much the same
As mine – “please answer, sir, if you’re OK.”
Alas, I couldn’t reach him, for his cell
Had far too many calls to do it well,
And sent me to a message. Worry lay
Within my spouse’s message; he was fine –
Just well annoyed he couldn’t get a line.
