Had a dream last night that I entered a poetry competition, the prompt was Is it Safe?  This silly poem was buzzing around my head when I woke up this morning.

 

Is it safe?

 

That dangling wire

Swinging like Tarzan’s rope.

Is it safe?
 

The dog over the road,

Barking at everything is sight.

Is it safe?

 

Going for a swim,

After you’ve had lunch.

Is it safe?

 

When asked by the hairdresser “What style?”

You reply “Whatever you like.”
Is it safe?

 

Standing up on the bus

While it’s still in motion.

Is it safe?

 

Having five minutes more

After your alarm has gone off.

Is it safe?

 

Being honest with a woman when asked

“Does my bum look big in this?”

Is it safe?

 

Crossing the road

while the lights are still on green.

Is it safe?

 

Sneezing

Whilst keeping your eyes open.

Is it safe?

 

This journey we’re all part of

called life.

Is it safe?
