Nothing can be more disturbing
Leave you in a state perturbing
Then when in your lighted glory
(No candle in your inventory)
Are suddenly plunged into darkness
Usually when the import starkest
Perhaps alone in house in wood
In middle of preparing food
You know just what I’m on about
An unexpected chance black out !
And those that live in place remote
That can’t just leave by car or boat
An interruption in their power
May go on for lots of hours
There’s little you can do but wait
But don’t be in a panicked state
(Just hope your smartphone’s battery
Does not die out, or screwed you’ll be)
And though you’ll scold yourself much later
You’ll wish you’d bought a generator
So if you’re in a place that’s prone
(especially if you’re on your own)
To outages of power often
A list of things, make sure you’ve got them:
Candles, matches and flashlight
When power’s down, you’ll be all right!
