"Hurricane Pain"

November was off to a great start
Just kidding-- everything was falling apart
Trees and power lines were down
Hurricane Sandy surely wrecked the town

A week off from school was surely needed
But no way did I enjoy it because the hurricane succeeded
To keep me from electricity and heat
That I need for my college apps to be complete

The deadline for early decision was approaching
I needed my computer to finish everything
The car was also running out of gasoline
Oh boy, was my family and I panicking!

For days we were going insane
The weather was freezing our brains
But finally my aunt called us
Her power was back and there was no need to stress

Her house was two hours away
The amount of gas my car had would not go a long way
So my family decided to stay in town
Where the trees and power lines were still down

But thank goodness I got another call
This time from my friend who got her power back and all
Her house was walking distance from mine
And suddenly everything again was fine

There I found out application deadlines were extended
And, oh boy, did heat feel splendid
Never again will I take electricity for granted
Goodbye Hurricane Sandy-- enough said.
