Bonnie

Tropical Storm Bonnie Beefs-Up, Bull's-Eyes Booms


Remotely operated through leaks and bubbles
Chicago to Little Rock, they heard of the troubles
Three point four million feet now of barrier boom
That's 600 miles they stretch as new dangers loom

From Mexico Beach to the Florida Panhandle
In the crosshairs of a storm, go get your candle
To the south and west fringes, the BP oil slick
Saturday or Sunday, Bonnie joins in the thick

Intensity forecasts could be horrible at best
Redevelopment may churn north of Key West
Maybe Mobile Bay, surely Florida gets brushed
Of sealing cap's fate, all eyes a little hushed

Well cap unattended becomes a wishing well
26,000 square miles open, end of fishing quell
North of Tampa Bay off to the Florida Keys
Booms remain the target, Bonnie be gentle please
