Another Squall Line Rolls

The next squall line, warnings galore
Crossing the Mississippi shore
Another raging beast
Heading East
Here, a warmish pre-storm lull
In a sky that's cloud full
My handsome dog's returned home
After his morning's roam
He awaits his next walk with me
Ever alert, sniff then see
Birds slow to return
For their feeder turn
With him in the yard
He don't care, lounging hard

Asteroid 1998 OR2 is flying by
A mile across, but 4 million shy
Of an Earth collision
That would make a big incision
4 other spaces rocks today
Cruising Earth's way
Many rocks enter, most burn
Never getting a turn
To make a surface dent
Our atmosphere, a safety tent
Thanks, gas in mesosphere
Got enough down here
To fear!

Puerto Rico, still shaky all around
Idaho aftershocks slowing down
N. Argentina & PNG
Only 5+ quakes to see
Only a very quiet quake day
Only 8 outside of USA
Territory
A quiet story
On a planet we know to be wild
More shakes coming, enjoy the mild
Today On Earth

Over a million COVID-19
Cases now seen
More dead than Vietnam war
With end still off, very far
In USA
Ain't going away
Remember, Prez, "gone by April"
Now suggesting, take a bleach swill
With no one in charge
Virus will continue to barge
Into American life
Many more months of strife
Lying moron continues to blame
Everyone else, not me, his claim
Still not enough testing
Virus still not resting
Greedy republicans, open economy
More deaths, we'll wait & see
Need salons & bowling alleys
Who cares about death tallies
Prez demands, meat plants reopen
More burgers, he's hopin'
So workers are sick & dying
Not he fault, he keeps lying
Let the fools gather, viral spread
Natural Selection says, you dead!
So, stay safe
Be smart
Stay home
Stay apart
Today On Earth
