BE ALERT


from the ABC set CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

On public transport
You are reminded constantly
To be alert and vigilant
And report suspicious things you see

But if I saw something
That might be construed suspicious
I wouldn’t know what I’d do
As I don’t like to make a fuss

But what constitutes suspicious
Is it unattended packages
Or people behaving furtively
Or just hanging around for ages

Traveling home late on the train
One night before Christmas
I saw several women dressed as schoolgirls
Should I report that as suspicious?

I like you Biggus. You capture so many aspects that we all think about but never express much.I also think you have a bit of irony and humor although your choices are serious enough.Very relevant writer and contributor. Thank you.
