Earthquake

#130story

The room did shake
In this fine land of ours
Was it an earthquake
No
It's Brian Blessed
Blowing out candles
On his birthday cake

When the neighbours fight, the voices raise, the doors slam, the earth beneath us quakes. We however, get the popcorn out. #130story

I catch your eye
And feel a tremor
It worsens as I cross the room
Nerves make my body shake
Like my own personal
Earthquake

Mother Earth quakes in thought
It's about cash and the export
In Fylde fracking with nature
Forget the masterplan
Or damage report

To those who suggest I could sleep through an earthquake: the 5.2 tremor of 2008 in Lincs woke me up in Co Durham.

On my Saisho boombox, I assumed graphics EQ was short for earthquake. Certainly seemed like it when I belted out Being Boiled. #130story
