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.
