Zounds

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around Does it make a sound? Yesterday a tree split in half falling on our front steps and on our landing No one was around to hear the sound when we found out -- "Zounds!" -- Nobody hurt, no damage Did we ever luck out!

I would have said 'Zoinks!' but the feelings the same, I am relieved nobody was injured-

Hey, I would have said 'Zoinks' too, but it didn't rhyme with 'Sounds.' ~ Ezra Pounds
