Lines Upon the Occurrence

Because of repairs, a burning torch

Because of the torch, a sizzling zorch*

Because of the zorch, a general blaze

Because of the blaze, the water plays

Because of the water, an icy street

Because of the ice (we must repeat)

Because of the ice, not MTA,

A lumbering bus careens astray.

Because of the bus, Pontiacs smashed,

As well as a hashery pretty well hashed.

Because of the crash, some raised hair,

And because of a torch,** more repair.
