When the storm hit

With no weather update, the storm hit in a jiffy

And blew away everything without being iffy

‘Aah! Thunderstorm – a breather from the heat’, the first message said

‘Wow! Lights are fading’, the second one read

‘Fought with my room-mate to grab the LAN, sorry dude!’,

Wireless routers are out is what I could conclude

‘Laptop is dying! Help! Power please!’ - cried a teen soul

‘Sent from iPhone – in the black hole!’,

Said the last message from that blackout zone

Others followed suit zone after zone

It was not difficult to predict the storm’s progress

I saw it coming - of course, with my prowess!

When the jiffy ended, the storm went to the next

And a sound darkness was all that was left

Stunned with that vacuum, they started looking around

Everything up in the sky was normal – is what they found

The stars were not mercurial, they moved at their pace

They did not chase time and seemed to enjoy the space!

‘Nothing is happening man!’ – A poor fellow felt

To him there was nothing that warranted a comment

But, at least he realized - it’s generally very quiet

When a storm abates and for another there is a wait

Before the next storm, a thing was learned -

Updating a status – nature rarely considered!
