Lightning and Thunder
~Marge Tindal~ 1999

Do not give me a
calm
quiet
love
for I could find
serenity
in a church.

Give me
a taste of
thunder
that lingers
long after
the lightning
is gone.

Marge,

I like your style.

Loved this. It brought on a smile and a tingling sensation.

Marge, girl, I'll give you a blizzard
Guaranteed to freeze your gizzard.
I'll give you a huge whirlwind
Meant to keep you in a spin.
I'll give you a hurricane,
Blow until you've gone insane.
Give a Japanese Tsunami
Till you cry out for your mommy.
I'll give you a large earthquake,
Smile each time I see you shake.
I'll give you a big cyclone,
Listen closely as you moan.
Tornados, too, I'll give to you
Spin you 'round till you turn blue.
I'll give to you a grand typhoon
Just to hear you while you swoon.

Though storm clouds may hang overhead
And skies may wear a tinge of red,
You can be sure, until the end,
I'll be your fair-weather friend.

Martie, I implore you! Don't take it personally, just because Marge ignored us completely out of all who responded. I know it makes you angry to feel sleighted in this manner but I'm sure there's a good reason for it....like maybe we're at the bottom of the food chain or something. Cheer up, Martie. Someone will appreciate us some day, I'm sure.

Marge, you kidding? TOE hasn't seen Toe's lightning rod for years! I mean, aren't lightning rods supposed to stand up?

I, on the other hand, have been vane most of my life!

Balladeer !
Thank God you're here !

Just heard a flash on the news,
a cure for lightning rod abuse.
They said just dip it in viagra dilute
and it would stand at full salute.

I'm not sure I understand,
but maybe you'll tell Toe.
Then instead of flagging
he could run it up the pole.

Well, what do I know ?
This L'Oreal blonde gets the nod.
I think I'll quit while I'm ahead
and not worry about lightning rods.

Marge,

Any response I have to your poem
Would get me spanked and sent back home.
Just let Toe stay upon the roof.
If lightning strikes him, we'll have proof!
