The Problem Down at My Apartment on Ferry Avenue
My Story in the Poetic Form of the Pantoum


We were seeing the TV
Then a sound like a bomb
Then we looked out the window
Then I saw the police chase a man.

Then a sound like a bomb
A man crashed into the downstairs apartment wall and the wall broke into the living room.

Then the firemen came and they told us to get out of the apartment because it might explode.

Then they said for us to bring clothes because we were going to stay in a hotel
Then the firemen came and they told us to get out of the apartment because it might explode
Then all my family had to change to a hotel with a swimming pool.

They said for us to bring clothes because we were going to stay in a hotel
Then we stayed in the nice hotel for two days
It was a good experience to stay in the hotel
Then they called us and we went back to our apartment.

We stayed for two nice days in that hotel
Then we looked out the window
Then they called us and we went back to our apartment.
We were seeing the TV.
