Poem
THE NARROW SQUEAK SHOW CHAPTER 2 So now,here I am Wham! That was a close shave! Whew! No way to behave! Damn tanks! I am all alone Is this a war zone? I have my lucky charm........... I will not come to any harm The bullet that dropped at my feet Death? We can never meet! Now, I am thinking The ship sinking Me, drinking What a week! Absolutely stinking! Still, I am here Editing The Narrow Squeak files I have no fear I have a bullet charm So I will come to no harm........ says I,dropping a donation to St Giles! Now, I am thinking It has kept me awake That damn earthquake! Spoiled my train of thought (Not the train,did I fall or was I pushed?) That was close I was nearly caught! Hey ho! These strange events........ Really make me tense But one must overcome The shattering blow That leaves you numb I was walking......... Just the other day I have given up public transport It doesnt pay! I tripped and nearly fell The gap in the pavement,miles wide but with a hop ,skip and jump I made it to the otherside, with scarcely a bump Whew! What a week! I havent found What I am supposed to seek May be it is underground? Better take a peek! I returned to the canyon in the pavement Fought back the urge to jump I climbed down instead What a dump! I didn't at all feel any dread I clutched my narrow squeak book I daren't look All this rubble! Could I be in trouble? Now, I am thinking............. What if I am better off dead? Well ,I am deep underground The foul air keeps me coughing The canyon in the pavement............. My final coffin? What goes down..... Must come up I justify this, as the boiling lava gives an evil hiss! I start to climb quite fast.......... chapter two.......... Looking to be my last! I have my bullet charm Damn! The name only has one "T" I have two! This feels me with alarm! The lava is quite hot now........ What do I do now? My bullet charm........... is now flawed How the temperature soared I made it to the top The lava narrowly missed me! Not one drop! I can complete chapter three!
