Alarms

I’ll never get used to alarms Though homeowners see all their charms. It’s too easy to make Just one tiny mistake Which can cause some to be up in arms. To disarm one you need fob or code Or you’ll wake an entire abode For the noise it emits Blows one’s eardrums to bits And those woken from sleep may explode. In the city, alarm use is rare And it isn’t that people don’t care But a doorman and lock Chase the thieves from the block To the suburbs – alarmers beware!

My dog is all the alarm I need and he is loud enough lol, but some of those alarms are just a bit to loud and more annoying when they are left to ring for hours, enjoyed your poem Ilene thank you, Emilia : )

Haha, brilliant Ilene, but I know how you feel, some emit such a high pitched screech they'd waken the dead. Tom
