Fire Drill In Swansea

We all went to Swansea To see the University We had a nice lunch by the sea In a place called Langland Brasserie And later that same afternoon We got back to our hotel room I settled down for a nice kip While the girls enjoyed a poolside dip I was having such a lovely sleep Till sirens ripped me from the deep Those intermittent bells so shrill Another bloody fire drill With bleary eyes and fuzzy brain Got to my feet and took the strain And feeling every aching joint I headed to the meeting point Not being such a sprightly fella I filled up with a pint of Stella For a trigger happy fire alarm Can sap your strength and do you harm. I took the lift back to our floor Got to our room and locked the door, And saw, through all these fun and games That Notre Dame was up in flames
