A Real Living Current

Such a force is electricity
it's such a dangerous force
it can't be taking for granted
for it's a active living source

It's so much part of modern age
so many appliances we have nowadays
without electric power it be no use
many new inventions leaves one amaze

Remember my first job after school
electrical apprentice was my role
many a story I could tell
drove many up the pole

In these days caused many a shock
even myself was literally taken aback
such currents didn't taste too good
when left on floor on the rack

So the lesson is very clear
be very careful with electric
keep yourself far from it
it's current can make you sick!


(This is wriiten from my experience as Apprentice electrician in my first job where I was found out to be colour blind, this showed me to get a few shocks.)
