This morning at 5am
The fire alarm went off
In the whole building
11 or 12 times on repeat
It just so happens that
I wanted to get up early
So at least I accomplished that feat
If ever there is a fire
I will be roasted alive
Cuz I for sure
Will not be going outside
I'll stay put in my apartment
Thinking it a false call
I've witnessed hundreds of false alarms
None of them are real at all
And the cops come
And the fire truck crew
Honestly, it's embarrassing
It's a waste of money, too
Not to mention the stress it causes
For everyone involved
What a waste of energy
I hope they get this resolved
(they won’t . . . )
Also, one more thing . . .
We’ve never had a fire drill
So I’m not sure what to do
When that godforsaken alarm goes off
The first time it happened I went outside
Like you do when you’re in school
But I was the only one who did that
And felt like a damned fool
So, the plan is just to be roasted
Like a chestnut on an open fire
That’s the plan for when a fire occurs
Yep that’s my plan and my desire
I guess if I smell smoke
Then I’ll know it’s not a joke
But
It could still be a joke.
Like the time I was frying hamburgers
And it didn’t go well
And ring-a-ling a ding-dong-ding
The fire alarm from hell
