Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Disneyland's Black Sunday

July 17th was the day,

1955 was the year,

Disneyland opened in a way

Dubbed Black Sunday by crowds to jeer.

28,000 folks who felt

Heat over a hundred degrees.

The asphalt on Main Street did melt.

No drinking fountains worked with ease.

Food and drink gone quick, bathrooms packed.

Rides set up but not yet in use.

A gas leak was a danger fact.

A tiger and panther got loose.

Covered the chaos for T.V.
