The alarm bells rang
A spider shook in her web
Wasps buzzed angrily
School was so boring
But this was so exciting
Drill or the real thing?
Sunny afternoon
Walk to the assembly zone
Pulling and shoving
Clumsy Jack fell down
The teachers all looked so cross
Begrudging the time
Wanting to teach us
About molecules and stuff
Now shouting commands
A crow watched us all
Then cawed his derision
At the gathered crowd
The whirling sirens
Were now heard at a distance
Coming to save us
Boys looked eagerly
At the two red fire engines
and all the firecrew
Little Sue Bevan
Was crying for her mother
I thought it was fun

Ah yes the firemen visiting...more pleasant than the nit nurse...but still i'd be like Sue - I am very glad Spider and Crow joined in the mischief...
ReplyDeletepoor clumsy Jack and little Sue - the excitement was too much. You paint the day so well but love the way the feeling of it reaches out to nature

A wonderful tale woven with the words.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
Blessings.
Too cute, or too scary....
ReplyDeleteNice write, O.E. I know the college kids don't like them. I was thinking fun for the smaller ones. We didn't have fire drills when I was growing up in Nebraska.
ReplyDelete..
More to the story? Surely!

I wonder, do they still do fire drills like this? The only one I remember with the actual fire-trucks was when I was in the first grade ... back in the 50s no less. Loved reading this, the rhythm echoed beautifully in my mind.
ReplyDeleteHANDSOME!
