Saved By the Bell

I was enjoining my afternoon siesta Just wearing my knickers no vest’a When the noise of the fire bell arose Oh heck I was wearing few clothes My hubby said ‘Jan that’s the bell’ I said ‘On no!’ With a yell I jumped out of bed with a leap Found all my clothes in a heap I struggled to find my white vest (It covers my large hairy chest) Phew! The sound of the bell it did stop So back into bed I did hop 30th October 2014 Jan Allison

I was wearing my knickers that was it lol - I could never have gone downstairs in my silky black dressing gown so had to start to get dressed... then I was saved and thankfully the alarm went off - the fire exit point is right across the road by the sea - oh I could have got chilled otherwise lol hugs Jan xx

Loved it -- my imagination followed it all the way through -- the knickers, the bell, and the shocking - hairy chest!! Great humor . . . now I am thinking of other words instead of hairy . . . better get back to work!! All the best.
