EARTHQUAKE WARNINGS



What I am reading the opposite of what I might think
But it came across in e-mail a warning link
As I was a child taught to hide under a heavy desk
But the, "Triangle of Life", says that is not the best
The desk will collapse bury, crush me far beneath
I must find a pocket near by where I can release
If I stand under a heavy beam and think I am safe
It will fall down on me and it will take my place
Not even in the car I should hide but hide near but beside
For I must be in an open space and there safely hide
And wooden buildings are more safe than those with concrete
For they will bend and sway and hide me safe beneath
If i do it right in fetal position hidden in the rubble
Having something soft by me that will be my safety bubble
