"A Tornado Picked Up My Outhouse!"

by Michael Dowdin - Not entered

This was an ordinary warm eveing
around two o'clock.
I was cooking beans and a large
ham hock.

On my very old run-down stereo 
was Beethoven.
I had sweet buttermilk biscuits in
my hot oven.

I also had a cooler full of red soda
and ice.
On my large gold plate was a large
pizza slice.

There was a still calmness about 
the atmosphere.
It was warm, so I took off my red
cashmere.

I was going to my new bright red 
and long Jaguar.
To get some medicine for my
throbbing molar.

Just when I was in my special made
leather glove box.
Suddenly, I heard a scream from my
friend, Stealer Fox.

I heard this loud noise like; zoom!
zoom! zoom!
Everything went up, including my
straw broom.

The entire place trembled, leaned, 
and shook.
All I could do was hold my head
and look.

Well, my outhouse and belongings
were taken to another town.
When I got there, everything was
in tack, just like they were found.

I hitched my outhouse to a trailer
hitch on my Jag.
Happily bringing all my belongings
back; I did drag.
