The Narrow Squeak Show Chapter 2
THE NARROW SQUEAK SHOW CHAPTER 2
So now,here I am
Wham!
That was a close shave!
Whew!
No way to behave!
Damn tanks!
I am all alone
Is this a war zone?
I have my lucky charm...........
I will not come to any harm
The bullet that dropped at my feet
Death?
We can never meet!
Now, I am thinking
The ship sinking
Me, drinking
What a week!
Absolutely stinking!
Still, I am here
Editing The Narrow Squeak files
I have no fear
I have a bullet charm
So I will come to no harm........
says I,dropping a donation to St Giles!
Now, I am thinking
It has kept me awake
That damn earthquake!
Spoiled my train of thought
(Not the train,did I fall or was I pushed?)
That was close
I was nearly caught!
Hey ho!
These strange events........
Really make me tense
But one must overcome
The shattering blow
That leaves you numb
I was walking.........
Just the other day
I have given up public transport
It doesnt pay!
I tripped and nearly fell
The gap in the pavement,miles wide
but with a hop ,skip and jump
I made it to the otherside,
with scarcely a bump
Whew!
What a week!
I havent found
What I am supposed to seek
May be it is underground?
Better take a peek!
I returned to the canyon in the pavement
Fought back the urge to jump
I climbed down instead
What a dump!
I didn't at all feel any dread
I clutched my narrow squeak book
I daren't look
All this rubble!
Could I be in trouble?
Now, I am thinking.............
What if I am better off dead?
Well ,I am deep underground
The foul air keeps me coughing
The canyon in the pavement.............
My final coffin?
What goes down.....
Must come up
I justify this,
as the boiling lava
gives an evil hiss!
I start to climb quite fast..........
chapter two..........
Looking to be my last!
I have my bullet charm
Damn!
The name only has one "T"
I have two!
This feels me with alarm!
The lava is quite hot now........
What do I do now?
My bullet charm...........
is now flawed
How the temperature soared
I made it to the top
The lava narrowly missed me!
Not one drop!
I can complete chapter three!
