I Chose To Look The Other Way
Cross Posted From: http://safetyphoenix.blogspot.com/
Because it was requested, today I am posting another poem by Don Merrill.
I Chose To Look The Other Way

But I chose to look the other way.
It wasn’t that I didn’t care;
I had the time, and I was there.
But I didn’t want to seem a fool,
Or argue over a safety rule.
