Text
In the event of something happening to me, there is something I would like you all to see, It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.	a
Have you seen my wife Mr. Jones? Do you know what it's like on the outside, Don't go talking too loud you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.	b
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound, maybe someone is digging underground, Or have they given up and all gone home to bed, thinking those that once existed must be dead?	c
