Bell and Horn Compared

Each time ringer sounds a bell He has something big to tell; Like driver who honks horn And just few ears would it scorn… News from Bell as from Horn sharp: Messages on which lips harp; A bell gets all men involved, Sins of lateness not absolved; Cars’ horns say you could be crushed, Survivors to doctors rushed! Each time hitter strikes a bell Things well might turn to hell: Fast actions to leave one’s shell To prevent yells of “Oh! Hell!” Soldiers’ Horns for Approved Wars, Bells of churches to change whores.
