I

Some thought a bomb hit

Trotter's garage.

Some thought a comet

Blew up the Lodge.

Milem Alkire was riding in a Dodge,

Saw the water splashing, and a great light flashing,

And a thousand arrows flying from the heaven's glow;

And heard a great banging and a howling clanging

Of a bull-hide's string to a monstrous bow.
