A barn out in Ottringham
thats in East Yorkshire
huge bales of straw
an electric fire
The inferno was rapid
the injuries dire
800 hosts with no where to go
roasted alive
Their screams as we know
despite the fire brigade
Six engines came
an aerial ladder
who was to blame
a terrible end
for these families
Yes they
burned to a crisp
perishing on Monday
