Beware! <br />Secure your hard hat. <br />Danger lurks in the flat <br />Field and fresh air! <br /> <br />Beware! <br />Don’t go near the water. <br />A man and his daughter <br />Are drowning there! <br /> <br />Beware <br />Everything you eat <br />Can kill you. Horsemeat <br />Everywhere. <br /> <br />Beware - <br />Only the thin look great. <br />Say you are size eight <br />Whatever you wear. <br /> <br />Beware <br />Losing your self-esteem <br />When Following your Dream. <br />Worst nightmare. <br /> <br />Beware: <br />Kids must cope alone <br />While you are on your phone <br />With stuff to share. <br /> <br />Beware <br />Trends that are so last year. <br />Insist on the latest gear - <br />It’s only fair. <br /> <br />Beware - <br />For anything really nice <br />Don’t pay the asking price <br />Anywhere. <br /> <br />Beware <br />Those beggars on your street; <br />They drink. They never eat <br />Or wash their hair. <br /> <br />Beware, <br />That man with the ready smile <br />May be a paedophile. <br />Get out of there. <br /> <br />Beware: <br />A touch is an assault. <br />Nothing is your fault - <br />You were In Care. <br /> <br />Beware of cuddling. Beware of love. <br />Beware of the velvet hand in the iron glove. <br /> <br />Beware of black and posh and daft and queer - <br />Beware of everything you ought to fear. <br /> <br />Estranged from mercy, trust, reflection, prayer, <br />People, beware.<br /><br />Pamela Ann Frances Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beware-43/
