The Narrow Squeak 2nd Show Chapter Three

Lots of calculation...... goes into the jump x=y+5 x e=mc2 To stop you ending in a lump! That's what I am told........... It's on the back of the ticket I was sold! Well here I go.... Ready for the last throw High on a hill, a lonely bridge span Six hundred foot drop! I nearly ran! With a mighy effort of will I trudged to the top! Push comes to shove....... So they say I waited in the queue Twiddling my thumbs Not knowing what to do! What a day! Soon it was my turn... Ouch! This heart burn! Won't go away Can I do this another day? I stepped forward.......... Remembering the calculation on the ticket I was sold! Was it marketing information? Or marketing gold? My ankles were lashed together......... My weight taken That calculation I pinned my hopes on I hope they wern't mistaken! I teetered on the edge........... on a very small ledge With a great lungful of air, With a nervous step........ I fell with flair! I was gathering speed........... watching the rocks below........ the calculations going through my mind not far to go.... I must be blind! I was progressively slowing My blood,flowing Then up I went! my courage spent! The rocks below Don't bother me so! So, witha boing up! and a boing down! I conquered the elastic! I feel fantastic! I'm going to town I know what for I need to see about chapter four!
