To My Landlords

I have disabled
the fire alarm
that was in
the basement

and which
you were probably
using
for safety.

Forgive me
it was obnoxious
so shrieky
and so loud.

(With apologies to William Carlos Williams.)

LOVE it. :D True story: my last house had a smoke detector in every single room, for a total count of 11. By the time we moved out, there were two still on the ceiling. The rest had been dispatched...
