Mysterious Cave

Start sinking in a sand pit Don't even have a torch that’s lit
Fall through the sand onto the ground
My head starts spinning round and round
Look around figure out it's a cave
So dark as if you're getting buried in a grave Trying to think on what to do
Maybe count to number two
That wouldn't possibly work
Because there's probably a monster beginning to lurk
Look around to spot any water, that's my aim
This is hard like a survival Minecraft game
Start digging uselessly at the ground
Then I hear a massive pound
Look up seeing light seeping through
Is it the government coming with his crew?
Nope I was wrong
Instead a man came called Kong
What did he want? Did he want to save me?
Yes, he came with a rescue group to save me
He looked a bit suspicious at first,
But he gave me water that quenched my thirst.
A cave that's fully dark; isn't that mysterious!
This isn't a joke, this is serious
