What do you wear to a tornado?
Heels or flats?
Muted fall colors or splashy summer scarlet?
You'll want to wear a clean pair of underwear
Mother would insist on it
But do you wear something open or securely buttoned down?
Keep in mind your wind-blown appearance
Which brings to mind hair spray and bobby pins
A tie clip for the men
And what about the whole etiquette question?
Sit or stand?
And what to do with your hands?
Do you crack an awkward joke?
Laugh at the irony?
Curse nature's timing?
Would you like to put the whole storm thing on hold?
Perhaps next week would work out better for you
