Safety Drill
When you travel on a ship or plane
(But not a bus, a tram or train),
Just heed my words because you will
Be forced to have a safety drill.
It's really like a little test
On how to wear your neon vest.
Adjust the straps and find the light
And whistle - then you'll be all right.
Of course, in real emergencies,
These demonstrations won't appease.
Imagine jumping in the sea -
The psycho screaming would be me!
Yet calmly, we all sit and smile
And listen for a little while
So if need be, we'll be prepared
And just a teensy bit less scared.
