Sirens screaming
"Her appendix" one said
They stamped "dependant"
on the form by the bed
Her feelings were despondent
with no parent near by
events that were impending
of which she didnt know how or why
Her pendant was in his hand
as he waited
with this pendulum swung by time
The men were so pensive
as they ignored him by and by
So left to ponder all the chances
The causes, the reasons, just why
A loud shrill was sounded
and the men jumped in respond
Left him to watch clutching the pendant
wondering the cause
Suspended above himwere all his hopes
as dark black eyes went for the rope
