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.
