The Ironic Earthquake
It was a normal day in school
The day the earthquake hit
Off the coast of Vancouver Island
Not far from home I must admit
There I was in Geography class
How ironic I must say
When the blinds on the windows
Did begin to sway
The chairs in class
Began to shake
Ever so slightly
They moved with the quake
The teacher looked and said to us
I think an earthquake's hit
Let us check the news today
For our benefit
The television was turned on
The newscaster had a view
Of the city from above
Beneath the sky so blue
We watched and watched
On the t.v.
But nothing fell
There was little to see
It had been small
Minuscule in fact
We could feel it's power
But see no impact
Not all earthquakes
Are this way
They can shake and shatter
And cause much dismay
Let us learn from this day
The power within
This earth is our home
And always has been
