Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Saved By the Bell

I was enjoining my afternoon siesta
Just wearing my knickers no vest’a

When the noise of the fire bell arose
Oh heck I was wearing few clothes

My hubby said ‘Jan that’s the bell’
I said ‘On no!’ With a yell

I jumped out of bed with a leap
Found all my clothes in a heap

I struggled to find my white vest
(It covers my large hairy chest)

Phew! The sound of the bell it did stop
So back into bed I did hop

Jan Allison October 31, 2014 at 3:42 PM I was wearing my knickers that was it lol - I could never have gone downstairs in my silky black dressing gown so had to start to get dressed... then I was saved and thankfully the alarm went off - the fire exit point is right across the road by the sea - oh I could have got chilled otherwise lol hugs Jan xx
