They Were Hit By Falling Space DebrisA Poem by Elton CampAll but one lived to tell about it.They Were Hit By Falling Space Debris By Elton Camp The only death from falling objects up to now Was suborbital junk that killed a Cuban cow Cow nor its owners were available for interview So we can’t be certain that the story is even true A report that’s reliable and very well authenticated Took place in Oklahoma and in 1997 it is dated While Lottie Williams was taking a walk in a park A fragment of woven material hit her out of the dark A report from Shaanxi Province in China is also true Falling satellite debris struck a young boy in 2002 As to his injury, the boy’s father saw the reason why Thundering sound and piece of metal fell from the sky It was extremely fortunate that Wu Jie wasn’t dead Space junk broke the child’s toe & grazed his head Now another satellite is lowering & about to fall But there is probably nothing to worry about at all © 2011 Elton Camp
