Carbon Monoxide Alert
An odorless/colorless gas highly toxic is the report
It’s Carbon Monoxide by name but I’ll call it CM for short.
It’s known as The Silent Killer and to avoid being hurt
You need to be real careful and install a CM Alert.
What causes this dangerous gas is a furnace as a rule.
That or any appliance that runs on fossil fuel.
CM Alerts are not expensive but they’re worth their weight in gold.
Their readings are in PPM’s - 35 ppm’s is max I’m told.
If it goes over 35 you’ve got troubles that’s for sure.
You’ve got to call an expert in so you can be secure.
I have a real long story but I’m gonna make it short
We got in some CM trouble so we called the experts to report.
We were very lucky with the trouble that we faced,
Our ppm read 1500 so our furnace was replaced!
According to statistics - 1600 means you’re dead
We missed by just 100 so we were lucky like I said.
So if Safety really matters then it’s best that you decide
To install a CM Alert or two in the place where you reside!
