In case
of fire
exit building
before tweeting
about it.
Do not stay statue-still
with conducting hands
those fidget thumbs
whilst up the stairs
the accounts team
are inhaling smoke
for the first
(and last) time.
Please scroll down
the stairwell and click ‘exit.’
Assemble yourself.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Now look at this
picture of a girl with a clown
and remember what it means
for a channel to be
off air.
