There is a very deep hole a man has declared
a bottom of which has not been found
perfectly round created not of natural design
as if an entrance to another domain
discovered by a farmer on his vast barren land
surprised discovering it by chance
nobody had mentioned the anomaly was there
as down into its depths did stare!
Experimented in trying to detect how far down
the ominous blackness descended
throwing objects to see time for noise to return
that never happened was disturbed
even fishing line to the length of fifteen miles
was not sufficient to reach the base
metal rings went down as far as he could see
it was frightening absolutely eerie!
Made him shake felt very queasy on the edge
certain something was crawling
up from this hole to take or devour his being
what could it be where did it lead
had to get away as his mind was overwhelmed
even his horses cried out in fear
ran from this bottomless pit would not go near
sensed an ominous atmosphere!
Was the moment of the awakening about to unfold
had he been spared so his story could be told?
