One Step

Myron P. Fusternick Stepped into sand that was quick, Unfortunately for him, his head, Was far too thick... I watched in awe, As one leg sunk into the ground, The other still on dry land, And from his mouth came a fearful sound.... "Oh help me! Help me! Please Tom Bell!!!" "I seem to suddenly be...hellbound!!!...Oh, Swell!!!" Now, the suction power of this terrible muck.... Tore off his shoe and sock.... And even his athelete's foot... I know it sounds like an aweful shock, But it all boiled down, to where his feet, he'd put... Well quick thinking me, Pulled out my camera, To document his fate, And it was not that his end, was something for which I could not wait, But I had remembered I was his life insurance beneficiary, And I could use the money, To buy a cup of tea.
