A Visitor From Japan

A Visitor from Japan

By Elton Camp

According to what the experts now say
Japan’s radiation has reached the USA
Up our backs should there run any chills
So we start gulping down the iodine pills?

No, it’s best for us to remain self-controlled
There’s not any danger as we’ve been told
To wild and scary rumors we turn a deaf ear
And don’t let fanatics induce panic or fear
