Analysis of About a tornado that falls
Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)
When I think of a tornado
It spins and swirls around.
it surely will take you out.
if you don't get out the way
It's considered part of nature.
it can cause all kinds of damage.
so, it's fun to watch on tv sometimes.
but when it becomes in a real view
so let us watch the danger from afar.
don't let it suck you up somehow.
when it does suck you fully up
you will soon be a part of history.
I find it a miracle when it happens.
that anyone makes it out alive
so, when you see the swirling tunnels.
please be sure to run far away my friend.
