I was waiting for my tea to steep when it happened.

I guess the sky split open

and the ground shook

and the house fell down around me;

And in the sky there was an explosion,

both horrifying and brilliant,

to which he exclaimed in astonishment,

"Well, would you look at that?"

to which I replied simply,

"No,"

and continued waiting for my tea to steep.
