One day, young Lincoln was taking out trash.

In the bathroom, the doorknob broke and Lori went crash.

To make matters worse, the shower curtain came down.

Lori said, "This place is falling apart!" with a frown.

Lincoln agreed and said, "Lots of things break here,

Like the faucets, the wood, and the furnace I fear.

The TV has bad signals, the doorknobs break too,

And the mailbox is faulty. What's a Loud to do?!".

Then Lisa said, "My test results all say,

That a very big storm is coming this way,

Or even a tornado!". Lincoln said, "Really, sis?",

But the weather reporter said, "Get a load of this:

There's a tornado warning in the Royal Woods!

So safeguard your families, pets, and your goods."

The parents said, "We'd better be safe as can be.

Go down to the basement while we secure the TV,

Antenna," so they went down. Lisa said, "Do not fear.

A tornado warning doesn't mean one is here,

And even if a tornado does come to town,

Most houses can stand them without breaking down."

They thought, "If our house breaks down, I wouldn't be sad.

We could move to a place where the doorknobs aren't bad,

Or the furnace, TV, or all that other stuff.

Why does everyone think that moving is tough?".

"The first time Bobby came, things broke in the bathroom," said Lori.

Then Lucy chimed in with another house story:

She'd told about a problem with book romance to Lynn,

And everyone had heard 'cause the walls were so thin.

Leni said, "And when the toilet overflowed,

It leaked through the walls one day while I sewed."

Lisa said, "The wind is slowing down now.",

So the kids said, "I guess that it won't flood like how,

It did the last time a big storm came to town.

We dumped out the water and then put it down,

A hole that we swam in. Lori doubted it at first,

But soon she had fun. I guess storms aren't the worst."

"Remember when possums destroyed the wi-fi and TV?

We played pioneers which was fun as could be."

"When the AC went crazy, the living room froze.

We had a personal ice rink. Not many folks have those!"

"The floors are so slanty, we can slide things and what's more,

We can pass toilet paper through a hole in the floor."

"When the doorbell breaks down, our pizza is free."

"We repainted the house for the anniversary,

Of our parents' wedding, but it turned out bad,

So we painted it back. We were still glad,

'Cause we put our handprints down on the side wall.

I guess our house isn't so bad after all."

A tornado did come and the Loud kids all frowned.

"We don't want our house to fall to the ground!

It has sentimental value!" and when the tornado was gone,

They were relieved to see nothing bad had gone on.
