According to the best advice
You pay your fire protection fee
Or face a loss that has no price.
Gene Cranick found his home in flames
And watched until the firetrucks came,
Then stared as they began to douse
Some water near his neighbor’s house.
It seems that Gene somehow forgot
To put his payment in the slot
For fire protection through this year,
So with the crews all standing near
They solemnly refused to raise
A hand to halt the spreading blaze
And managed to avert their eyes
As precious minutes ticked on by.
With three dogs and a cat inside
Gene had no space to give to pride
And pleaded with the Chief and crew
To do whatever they could do.
He told them of his oversight
And offered to set matters right…
Pay any fee they chose to name
Right then if they would stop the flames,
Or try to make the heat subside
And save the creatures trapped inside.
South Fulton’s Fire Chief flat declined
To change what you might call his mind
And shook his head…such matters all
Were settled down at city hall.
For now the civil thing to do
Was let it all go up the flue.
His men would stay around, of course,
Until the fire had spent it’s force,
To see that flames did not invade
Adjacent homes where fees were paid.
And so Gene’s house burned to the ground
With ash and refuse strewn around
And down amid the charred beam ends
The bodies of four absent friends
Lay still beneath a life’s debris
Close by South Fulton Tennessee.
