Firefighter's Problems

Firefighters have a few problems I hope you'll help us out I'll try to state them clearly Though some things stress me out Some things drive us crazy They happen every day Some I hope to mention Others I'll let stay Think when you are driving When you see us, stop, I pray A fire truck is hard to control Five-hundred-gallons has its way And recall when you are walking And toward you we do race Remember we're in a hurry So please pick-up your pace Okay we're not 411 But if your lost we'll help you out So you know the map is ours Please don't scream and shout Also consider, when your in a wreck We don't care who caused the deal We're just there to help those hurt And take them where they'll heal Now when it comes to fires Don't try to help us out By breaking all the windows You just let the devil out One thing most important When we arrive on a fire scene If you have no useful info Be not heard but only seen To many people yelling Trying to join the show Puts many lives in danger I thought that you should know We will risk life and limb To get you out the door But if we're misinformed We could search the wrong floor A new battery in your smoke detector Another small pet peeve Twice a year when you change those clocks Is better than too grieve I'm sure there's more that I can vent But I said I'd let some stay All I ask is a little help With which you'll make our day Steven Clark 27Jan'14
