A couple had feared for outbreaks

A couple had feared for outbreaks

Which was causing them some headaches

But the couple claim

The purpose of the flame

Was to get rid of all of the snakes

With the building aflame and on fire

With the building aflame and on fire

Thought he’d better flee from the pyre

With a leap and a bound 

He made it to the ground

It just wasn’t his time to retire

The fire began burning and smoke

The fire began burning and smoke

Poured out, finding people to choke

So this little girl

Gave the mattress a hurl

And jumped from the third floor, no joke
