A Powerful Emission

My back end emissions have yet to reach

Point eight on the Richter Scale

A magnitude that easily destroys large buildings

Or drives locomotives off the rails

Most of the time they're silent but deadly

The kind that can make people mute

I've also heard that a man in Kansas City

Let one fly and blew off his suit

Now that's what I call a powerful emission

Hope one day to blow a point eight

I'll be able to rest with my life's work done

Sure hope it doesn't trigger a quake!
