#Writeclub #Prompt

I wrote this in response to the Write Clubs “Home/Alert” Prompt and thought i’d share with my fellow wordpressers – enjoy
The news from Network Rail rang out
“To make people aware
In the event of an alert
Three sharp blasts
Will be heard from the
Station Masters whistle”
The day carried on
As rushing commuters
Grabbed vital space
Like sardines in tins
Without tomato sauce
But then out of the air
The people were aware
Of a shrill high tone
Three sharp blasts
To chill to the bone
All engines stopped
At signals propped
By station master – No glee
That signal you see ?
He was brewing up tea!
