on Richter magnitude scale

leaving Indonesian island

of Sulawesi in total ruins,

from said rat fink

and additionally webbed,

wide whirling countersink

triggered a massive tsunami

razing humongous chink

essentially wiping off the map

in an eye blink,

whereat his lordship

thus survivors bethink

sitter ably less of Neptune!
