There once was a town
That was about to drown
From an unstoppable wave of destruction

They ran uphill
To save their lives
Up they went
With speed and skill

As the water advanced
Through waves and buildings
White froth danced
At the top came more and more

Soon water had cascaded down
On to the tiny town
Which started to drown

As the water receded
The town depleted
Leaving only people
To remember that day
