Hey now passengers, look up here and listen,
\nTime for safety-talk, nothing to be missing!
\nFirst the safety belt, buckled up and pulled tight
\nOpen with a latch-lift, steel shining moon-bright.<\/p>\n

On this airplane, eightfold are the ways out:
\nFront and back and over-wings we point out.
\nWatch and learn, and may I just remind you
\nThat your nearest one may lie behind you.<\/p>\n

If the cabin’s dark, gaze you down at the floor
\nLights will shine out, make a path to the door.
\nLeave all bags behind, take no stabbing heel-shoes
\nJump, don’t sit down, or the slides as rafts use.<\/p>\n

Now beneath your seat a life vest
\nPut on just so, double bows will hold best.
\nLight and whistle, tube to take a breath-draft
\nDon’t inflate it till you leave the aircraft!<\/p>\n

Hid above you, masks in their compartments
\nBut if air grows thin in these apartments
\nThey’ll drop swiftly. Fit your own as I’ve shown
\nThen when you’re safe, help those only half-grown.<\/p>\n

On this airplane, none may smoke their pipe-weed
\nAnd you must obey the crew as they need.
\nIf there’s safety knowledge that you still lack
\nSee the card that sits inside your seat back.<\/p>\n

Now is time for you to stow your cases
\nUnder or over, fitting in their spaces.
\nSeat backs, tables, all should be upright now
\nToys off, phones off, ready for our flight now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
