Police - The Industrial Accident Poem by Paul Warren

Load her up he said
And it started without dread

We need to get this load done
And the end is finally won

But he got in the way
And lost his life that day

Flatten by 4 tonne of stressed concrete
Meant his life was complete

So if you are transporting slabs
Over roads that are corrugated bad

Ensure that you chain them securely down
And when unloading be careful on uneven ground

For your life will be wasted away
And death will have the final say.
