Our Neighbor the Nuclear Plant

An uneasy feeling.

Our Neighbor, the Nuclear Plant

 

By Elton Camp

 

It’s been there for a good many years now

But I never gave it much thought somehow

I knew some, nuclear plants do fear and hate

But it has provided us power at a cheap rate

 

A major factor that helped me to feel at ease

Is the success enjoyed with it by the Japanese

If on those tiny islands smart folks feel okay,

Then any possible fears it really helped to allay

 

But the terrible experiences they had here of late

How brought up good reasons safety to debate

Experts say that Japan’s fate couldn’t happen here

But whether or not it’s so, I am beginning to fear

 

With much danger it seems to me that it is fraught

It was built far too close to the New Madrid Fault

I hope that Alabama’s not the next one on the list

And that with our scary neighbor we can co-exist
