to or from doors................

Compass

Everybody needs a compass
Some have sense of direction
In their heads
But I need to be told
Where I’m going

So I have a combination tool
That attaches to my belt loop
It tells me the temperature
Of an atmosphere
I may be in

It also presents a
Very shrill, ear-piercing
Whistle
Should I be attacked
Or see somebody up
To no good, lurking
Near my car or door

The whistle allows me too
To drive off grizzly
Or polar bears

But properly used
I can call up sewer raccoons
From the depths below

Maybe to my front door
For a raccoon cracker snack
Just to cement our
Relationship

One of the wisest purchases
I ever made
