sticks and stones may break your bones,
but they will also start fires…

the importance of fire safety isn’t taken lightly,
so please take the time to act politely.

now no offense but from one girl to another,
you’re not Adele, Sean Kingston, or the Jonas Brothers.

do not set fire to the rain that pours,
call 9-1-1 before you burn up on the dance floor.

when the heat settles in and you’re feeling dry,
to your candles and cigarettes please say goodbye.

(since those items are illegal anyways,
you’ll be fined if they are caught ablaze).

this isn’t the Upper Room where fire fell on everyone’s head
keep the Holy Spirit’s fire set in your soul instead.

ignore this advice and your world will crash,
as before your eyes Miller Hall turns to ash.
wrote this for my friends who are doing a project on fire safety at my college campus, haha.
