Our Neighbor the Nuclear Plant

Our Neighbor, the Nuclear Plant By Elton Camp It’s been there for a good many years now But I never gave it much thought somehow I knew some, nuclear plants do fear and hate But it has provided us power at a cheap rate A major factor that helped me to feel at ease Is the success enjoyed with it by the Japanese If on those tiny islands smart folks feel okay, Then any possible fears it really helped to allay But the terrible experiences they had here of late How brought up good reasons safety to debate Experts say that Japan’s fate couldn’t happen here But whether or not it’s so, I am beginning to fear With much danger it seems to me that it is fraught It was built far too close to the New Madrid Fault I hope that Alabama’s not the next one on the list And that with our scary neighbor we can co-exist
