Holiday Safety Poem

Release Date: November 25, 2020

Family during the holidays "Men and women of DHS be of good cheer
For winter holidays will soon be here

Oh yes, it’s holiday time for one and all
But please be smart whether shopping online or at the mall

Be alert!  Watch for pickpockets and thieves
For they’re out there with no good up their sleeves

Select goodies with care right from the start
Pick age appropriate gifts and add them to your cart

Practice social distancing and wear your masks
Be prepared and stay safe as you go about your holiday tasks

Buckle up whether traveling to points near or far
Always wear seat belts when traveling by car

Seat belts save lives; there just ain’t no denyin’
They’re to protect you in an accident and maybe even save you from dyin’

Using good judgment with alcohol is a key to success
Thinking BEFORE drinking helps avoid the distress of arrest

In closing, please be well and keep safe and let’s all be clear
We wish you Happy Holidays and a most prosperous New Year!!"
