A Bicycle Bell
A bicycle bell very clearly does say,
Melodiously, “Please get out of my way!”
It isn’t as jarring as honking we’d hear
From taxis or cars warning us to steer clear.
It doesn’t disturb like a grating alarm
And the decibel level won’t cause any harm.
Its sound isn’t shrill like a whistle that’s blown,
To summon a cab, which most doormen do own.
It’s so much preferred to a growl or a bark
Which a dog will employ as a threat or a hark!
But for humans, out walking, instead of a yell
When you’re blocked, just consider a bicycle bell.
