Alert

At exactly 2:20

There’ll be an alert

Which, if you have a cell phone,

You cannot avert.

 

Conducted by FEMA,

This country-wide sound

Will let everyone know

That there’s danger around.

 

Since this is just practice,

There’ll be no real harm,

Just a test of a national

Safety alarm.

 

They’ve given fair warning,

Yet I would surmise

That for many, this will be

A scary surprise.
