Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Light Verse

Just In Case

In case of emergency,
pull the lever that 
		        make the train stop
In a car, slam on the parking brakes;
if you’re a moving pedestrian, 
		          halt and hail a cop
In a 911 situation   ...   hold the phone
During a surgical operation,
	      should something go wrong
Don’t panic!
Remember: 
only crash dummies have plastic bones
Just in case of a nuclear meltdown,
			if all the shelters are full ... 
still find a way to get underground
You won’t have much time,
	radiation poisoning is a drag
The survival clock is ticking,
	      countdown to a body bag
Just in case you missed the memo
Just in case you didn’t know:
don’t go getting Dumb and Dumber, 
and eat the fallout yellow snow
