97. Safety First [100 poems challenge]

97.          Safety First

Here is a warning
That you should read carefully,
Sometimes the metre is
Missing a beat.

Caveat emptor
Beware of the half-rhymes,
Their small imperfections may
Feel out of place.

Content advisory:
Parental guidance is
Here recommended for
Mild adult themes.

And should you swallow
Those tales quite implausible
Or indeed overdose
On this long list,
You should quite urgently
Seek the advice of a
Qualified medico
Ere it’s too late.

Please be advised that
This was created by
Something that may contain
Traces of nuts.
