May 5

They told me not to worry
That it was only a myth.
As if I had not heard, they
Repeated: it’s only a myth.
Then shouting, once again,
It’s only a myth!

Little did they know
That three times is the trigger
As the earth opened up and
Gobbled them whole.
And as eartthmouth closed,
I shouted, It’s only a myth!

Careful not to repeat it.
Take heed of the rule of three.
And be wary on those who
Shout, “It’s only a dream.”
