Earthquake

Late in the morning, we had a surprise - An earthquake decided to hit. Our son’s house, for maybe 10 seconds or so, Was shaking and more than a bit. Around here, this isn’t a typical thing So friends either texted or called. Did you feel the earthquake? We did or we heard… People startled or somewhat enthralled. Of course, it was minor so damage was nil And we all could be rather blasé, But I’d hate to be living where major quakes strike As you watch all you own swept away.
