The Canary Lookout


homophones, because I like 'em.  


The Canary Lookout

Can aeries of
Canaries of
Good pedigree from
Good pets agree from
Alarming warbles,
"All arm in! War bulls!"
Helter-skelter
Held our shelter
Deep within the earth

They were safer
They were, save for
A trickling few
A tickling fume
Wafted from the clay
The lookout saved the day

For a praise in a
Coat of arms
For appraising a
Code of harms
Emblazoned on a shield:
Canaries in a mine
