A Fireman's Log

MONDAY was quiet ~ only answered one bell,
Saved a kitten up a tree; made a youngster feel swell.

TUESDAY alerted: "man falls in lake,"
Called our EMT to resuscitate.

WEDNESDAY it hit us ~ four calls in a day ~
House, garage, car ~ and, a barn full of hay.

THURSDAY P.M., heard the Plectron alert,
Kid wedged his thumb in a bottle of Squirt!

FRIDAY pumped a basement, flooded by rain,
A job for a plumber ~ but, why complain?

SATURDAY an accident, by some messed-up fool, Got
him out safe, with our new Hurst tool.

SUNDAY to firemen, ain't a day of rest,
Saved a coronary victim; 'tis he who is blest'.
