I tossed a pebble
Spherical from this here Quay
I threw flat pebble
Shore to sea
Round pebble soared to sea
Over Flotsam ,Jetsam, splash
eddy pool formed
Waves splash and crash
Waves rose high
Winds grew wild
developed strong
Rogue wave outstretched long
Storm from wave grew
Restless from north it blew
Blew undersea with might and fright
Aqueous storm formed tonight
A storm of might formed Tsunami
A tsunami of such a force
Nil survivors
Nil remorse
I tossed a pebble
From this here quay
Now there's no you
Now there's no me
