Blame Neptune for unleashing
     Indonesian tragic phenomena
     just by his innocent wink
merely intended by regular
     casual reminder
     for Earthlings to think
seriously how (inhabited
     linkedin chain of islands,)

     yea kinda resembling a slink
key, within the ring of fire,
     a large 40,000 km
     (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, -
     Yukon also envision
     a vague watery rink
encompassing basin of Pacific Ocean,
     where e'en the subtlest plink

(no doubt unintentional), thus
     absolutely necessary for inhabitants
     to catch the latest
     drift (albeit continental),
    he gave forewarning
     just days prior,
     possibly relayed after
     getting tipsy from overdrink,

hence warning not taken seriously,
     where majority resident didst
a practical joke got played,
     yet a coterie of attentive people
     accoutered in faux mink
(dressed to the nines
     fur a gala fete
     also taken by surprise,

     no one sensed
     any sudden high jink
     then the cleaners),
and really the entire
     population sustained strong kinship
     with (what they believed
     tubby) reasonable god
     (a carry over from Greco

     Roman Times font size 12),
     hence could never suspect,
     he would hoodwink
boy (and girl), whar
     they ever wrong, come

     at 17:02h military time,
     or 7:02 post meridiem

an earthquake measuring 7.4
     on Richter magnitude scale
     leaving Indonesian island
     of Sulawesi in total ruins,
     from said rat fink
and additionally webbed,
     wide whirling countersink
triggered a massive tsunami

     razing humongous *****
essentially wiping off the map
     in an eye blink,
whereat his lordship
     could not be reached,
     thus survivors bethink

sum man tricks brought
     water ship down,
     ah buoy big boon
dog gull upon his head,
    boot nonetheless ****
    sitter ably less of Neptune!
