Williwaw

Syllabic: wil·li·waw

Pronunciation: wil-ee-waw

Definition: a violent squall that blows in near-polar latitudes, as in the Strait of Magellan, Alaska, and the Aleutian Islands.

The kids are screaming at each other again
"Give me back my ipod" yells one
So loud, its like a knife piercing the brain
The ipod found peace returns briefly to our home

All to soon the shouting starts once more
Constant bickering from morning 'til night is the scene
Its a war zone, an endless battle, a continuous williwaw
Oh the delights of being mum to a pair of teens.
