A girl who is really quite scary
Prances around like a little fairy
Her name is Rachel McTeeving
And she loves to see people fleeing

She would burn bacon in a pan
Just to watch her frightened nan
A habit of setting off alarms
Has her excited beyond her qualms

One day an alarm went off, she didn’t do a thing
She thought it was great so she started to sing
The fire behind her got bigger and bigger
Rachel excitedly started to snigger.

She was excited and loved the sound of alarms
But now was in danger of being in great harm
Rachel was burned but tried to be brave
But the burns were so bad she went to her grave.
