Eye of the Storm

All things considered, is it really the eye of the storm?

It assumes the central or focal point of any storm is calm, … perhaps it is? But why is it, the ‘eye’ … couldn’t it be the ‘brain’ of the storm, or the ‘heart’ of the storm?

I then googled several eyes of any storm. And then I gasped in a revelation of shiny rays of “inspirational coal”. Not ever, so thrilling … but inspiring.

This caused me to clench my right hand fist tight, and then bring it down with sufficient force so that the sound reverberated for effect. No way, was I settling for an Englishman polite ‘excuse me sir’ …

“THIS IS NOT THE EYE OF THE STORM” … with which silence would break with instant gasps with open mouths exposing decay from years of chewing sweets from up the road at the local Indian store.

Silence.

Almost immediately, I exclaimed … “IT IS THE SPHINCTER OF THE STORM!”

Applause abound, … I became a hero. Thank you.

If you were unlucky to be witness to this event, you knew something bad was to follow.
