Rumblin, Tumblin, Tornado Tom-

rolled through the house like a ticking time bomb.

Destructive, disdainful, disruptive, and rude-

disastrous messes always seemed to follow this dude.

Wherever he went, and whatever he touched-

he left a mess as never was such.

His mother, a woman with quests of her own,

would always ask Tom to pick up at home.

Yet Tornado Tom would not take heed.

Never would he do such a helpful deed.

This left his family mighty upset.

As his messes piled they began to fret.

His room soon was declared a hazardous zone,

with moldy laundry & chicken bones,

cheese curls crunched up in the rug,

and many crawling little bugs.

Finally, one day, it all became too much to handle.

His mom yelled so loud, the news reported a scandal.

Afterward, Tornado Tom was nowhere to be found.

And the family home was clean & sound.

What happened to Tornado Tom?

I don't know. Ask his mom.
