Bad stuff happens on the fire line, <br />You think you're in mop up mode, <br />All of a sudden you're at the head of the fire. <br />Nothing is a sure thing. <br />You listen to that voice, <br />Feel your throat going dry, <br />Your bowels tightening up. <br />When things happen they happen fast. <br />Sometimes they’re over before you know anything.<br /><br />Lori Messenger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bad-stuff-happens/
