My insistent intruder, after my fish

Cumbrian earthquake 21/12/2010

Oh Wow! Was that an earthquake?
Did it really feel so bad?
Just how much did the ground shake
and are these reactions sad?
Some said it was five minutes long
...when first news hit the air,
but now they've sang a different song
and changed their underwear?
You shouldn't get het up about a 3.6 or 7
that's not the sort that introduces you and me to "Heaven".
That distant muffled rumble lasted ten seconds, no more.
until the tale went off the scale, lest it should be a bore.
Well I was sitting on the couch, by Dalton's snow-draped grass
I just thought I'd sat on some bubble-wrap and popped it with my...weight!
