Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Alert

At exactly 2:20
There’ll be an alert
Which, if you have a cell phone,
You cannot avert.

Conducted by FEMA,
This country-wide sound
Will let everyone know
That there’s danger around.

Since this is just practice,
There’ll be no real harm,
Just a test of a national
Safety alarm.

They’ve given fair warning,
Yet I would surmise
That for many, this will be
A scary surprise.

Jerry Brotherton October 7, 2023 at 8:46 AM I read the strangest conspiracy theory I have ever heard of. They said that it is not an alert, but a signal to activate the chips that were injected into us with our Covid Shots.

Paul Callus October 6, 2023 at 12:18 PM That's similar to fire alarms we used to get at schools. The children enjoyed having an extra 'break'. Hope no such alarms will be needed for real. ~ Best regards // paul

Terry Flood October 4, 2023 at 11:42 AM I can just imagine someone - who has the latest brand new super duper smart phone - sitting there tapping away to see what it can do, then ‘SKREEEEEEEECH!” Now that would indeed be a scary surprise. Nicely composed and rhymed, Ilene. Ilene Bauer October 5, 2023 at 10:48 AM Ha! Yes, it sure would, Terry! Thanks for dropping by…

Kim Rodrigues October 4, 2023 at 11:27 AM LOL…I read this RIGHT after I received that alert. Ilene Bauer October 5, 2023 at 10:48 AM Ha! I was with a friend and we got them 2 minutes apart…

Darlene De Beaulieu October 4, 2023 at 11:22 AM Hello Ilene, A question: What is this alert for? A practice for what reason? It makes no sense to me. thank you. Hugs. Darlene/ Darlene De Beaulieu October 5, 2023 at 11:04 AM Hello Ilene, thank you for telling me. I was trying to figure it out all night. Enjoy your day my friend. Hugs\. Darlene/ Ilene Bauer October 5, 2023 at 10:46 AM Hey Darlene! It’s in case of a national emergency, such as a terrorist attack or something like that which would affect the whole country. I guess it would give instructions or updates…
