Ear splitting explosion
That rocks all the walls
A noise on the roof
When the chimney stack falls
Folk running for cover
Are knocked off their feet
When a fifty foot crack
Runs the length of the street
It swallowed up cars
Traffic lights and a train
A rumbling began
Followed swiftly by rain
Many souls lost
Buried under the rubble
Who didn’t deserve
To receive so much trouble
