if there's no reason put it back
i rang the bell until it cracked
but they'll never take my alarm
serious after that long,
unforgotten incident on the farm
but this time molly jumped down
from the second story of the barn
and molly's ankle's broken
and she can hardly move her arm
and when i ran to tell them
they sent for an ambulance
the firemen came too,
and then the firemen left
and the candle glowing upstairs
went largely unnoticed
and pretty soon the flames spread
to the floor and molly's card deck
and the hay in the loft caught
faster than one might expect
molly wears a cast now
and breathes a deep sigh of regret
and i know they won't forget
the next time i ring that bell
they better listen to me well
