Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

They Were Hit By Falling Space Debris

They Were Hit By Falling Space Debris

By Elton Camp

The only death from falling objects up to now
Was suborbital junk that killed a Cuban cow

Cow nor its owners were available for interview
So we can’t be certain that the story is even true

A report that’s reliable and very well authenticated
Took place in Oklahoma and in 1997 it is dated

While Lottie Williams was taking a walk in a park
A fragment of woven material hit her out of the dark

A report from Shaanxi Province in China is also true
Falling satellite debris struck a young boy in 2002

As to his injury, the boy’s father saw the reason why
Thundering sound and piece of metal fell from the sky

It was extremely fortunate that Wu Jie wasn’t dead
Space junk broke the child’s toe & grazed his head

Now another satellite is lowering & about to fall
But there is probably nothing to worry about at all
