The Narrow Squeak 2nd Show Chapter Three
Lots of calculation......
goes into the jump
x=y+5 x e=mc2
To stop you ending in a lump!
That's what I am told...........
It's on the back of the ticket I was sold!
Well here I go....
Ready for the last throw
High on a hill,
a lonely bridge span
Six hundred foot drop!
I nearly ran!
With a mighy effort of will
I trudged to the top!
Push comes to shove.......
So they say
I waited in the queue
Twiddling my thumbs
Not knowing what to do!
What a day!
Soon it was my turn...
Ouch! This heart burn!
Won't go away
Can I do this another day?
I stepped forward..........
Remembering the calculation
on the ticket I was sold!
Was it marketing information?
Or marketing gold?
My ankles were lashed together.........
My weight taken
That calculation I pinned my hopes on
I hope they wern't mistaken!
I teetered on the edge...........
on a very small ledge
With a great lungful of air,
With a nervous step........
I fell with flair!
I was gathering speed...........
watching the rocks below........
the calculations going through my mind
not far to go....
I must be blind!
I was progressively slowing
My blood,flowing
Then up I went!
my courage spent!
The rocks below
Don't bother me so!
So, witha boing up!
and a boing down!
I conquered the elastic!
I feel fantastic!
I'm going to town
I know what for
I need to see about chapter four!
