To Reap the Whirlwind

When, loud and lauded, grifters drift along
Who crease their purple pants and sable jackets,
I think to beg my memory for a song
That bundles sunshine up in yellow packets.
Sometimes, however, all I hear is a racket.
When funnel clouds demolish mobile homes,
We lose both cozy throws and stylish chromes.
