Cctv Extract

A fire in the kitchen? I smell of smoke in the hall. Somebody is very guiltily Washing down the wall. What’s left of the toaster’s Just a burnt plastic shell. Some time last night We almost had a mini hell. Thank the Lord for CCTV. A bit of a disturbing sight He’d come in a bit tipsy Just after midnight. Put the toaster on the hob Switched the wrong device on Seemed blithely unaware that The smoke alarm had gone. He’d sat drinking tea Supremely unaware Of the flames and smoke Swirling around his chair. A pajamaed figure appears Smoke alarm must have alerted Situation quickly sorted Potential emergency averted. White faced and anxious Sitting with his dad and me As we all sit and watch The Closed Circuit Tv. He’d been doing so well Getting back on track But, three steps forward And two steps back. Give credit where it’s due, Criticise where it’s earned, Put it down to experience, Just another lesson learned. Mending broken soldiers We all voluntarily chose Win or lose its a gamble Last night it was close.
