Definition: An alarm.
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me,
Let’s talk about ‘alert,’ for you to clearly see!
The dictionary tells us it’s an “alarm,” that’s true,
But ‘alert’ has a meaning, fresh and new.
It means to be
aware
, with eyes so bright,
Ready to react, with all your might!
Think of a firefighter, dressed in red,
Alert and ready, when danger's spread.
Or a driver speeding, watching the road,
Alert to hazards, lightening their load.
It’s about being watchful, quick and keen,
Like a hummingbird, observing unseen!
So “alarm” is just one piece of the show,
‘Alert’ means
knowing
where you need to go!
Does that make sense? Any questions for me?
