As I was going to St. Ives…
(As there was a very recent earthquake of 0.9 magnitude recorded near there).
As I was going to St. Ives,
I counted up my remaining lives;
(from the original nine,
six were left;
of three of them,
I was bereft?
then the ground shook,
the earth moved;
you could tell by my look
that I never approved;
I met a man
with his entourage;
he had a plan
and he spoke it large,
“We’re leaving town,
it might fall down;
I normally smile;
but, look at this frown!”
I turned, and joined
his motley crew;
“We are going to Redruth.”
were words he said,
“Woo-hoo!” I replied.
But, secretly, I cringed a little bit inside.
