The Legacy of Rita

Rita was a girl that was prophesized to do a great many things - not all good, but all destined to be great. Alas, when her time came, at least for the people of a town called Hue-ston in a land called Tex-uhs, she did not live up to her name. Instead, she just breezed on by, passing the town of Hue-ston with nothing more but the slight breezes of her presence left and the relieved sighs and lightening voices of the inhabitants following in her wake. In doing so, Rita left for other parts unknown but even with her gone, there rang several peoples' voices telling her to give them more for because of her, families had evacuated for safety and had done so for no reason for in the land of Tex-uhs, nothing was amiss after she left - except for a few areas here and there without "e-leck-tris-city" and something called "cay-bul" for their "telly-vi-zhuns". I, for one, simply loved the atmospheric differences she imparted upon us upon her departure...

And that, my listeners, is the Legend of Rita. Moral of the story? Just because you start out big doesn't mean you'll DO big things. Oh, and never let a certain person called "Iris" become exceptionally and inexplicably bored. :)
