Ignore Safety Rules (I Mean Don'T)

Don’t take chances and ignore safety rules For you may end up looking just like fools. Keep yourself safe and do stay alert Don’t leave in two pieces and your family hurt. Wear your goggles as though they’re your part-of You won’t want to miss seeing all that you love. And please don’t put them on your forehead They’re supposed to protect your eyes; not head! Choose your tools properly and use with care You don’t want them to be flying everywhere. And don’t forget to put on your hard hat Lest a flying tool knocks you silly and flat. Remember to protect those precious hands of yours You still need them for the many years of chores. It’s not like you can change them should they tear But you can change the wrecked gloves that you wear. Donning PPE might be troublesome And they don’t also make you look handsome You might feel like an alien coming from mars But well... they protect you from all those scars. Dovey Annie
