The Funnel
Way up in the sky I form,
To wreak havoc on the earth.
I start out small in size,
And increase very rapidly.
You see me first
As a small funnel.
Some people chase me
Even when I’m huge.
I am a funnel cloud
A tornado in formation.
I cause a lot of damage
Before I ever touch down.
I am a mighty force
One not to be reckoned with.
A force of nature
Not to be outdone.
I swirl and twirl
And twist all about.
When you see me coming
You better watch out.
I throw a lot of wind.
Branches, buildings, cars,
I leave destruction and death
All along my lasting path.
