Catchy and memorable safety messages abound. My favourites are>
1 Wear white at night. (UK road safety.)
2 When thunder roars, stay indoors. (Swimming pool sign in singapore.)
3 He was right, dead right as he sped along but he's just as dead as if he were wrong. (Victorian gravestone. Is - were is subjunctive.)

Poem 376
Wear white at night
Seen in headlights
And reflectors
Even better
Alive, not dead
Just think ahead
Dead cats and dogs
On roads well known
Stay safe, night white
Go safely home
White's safe and seen
Black's for burglars
White's for walkers
Black's for murders
White's for children
Fathers, mothers
Adults teachers
And all others.
White's much safer
For dotor and nurse
Wear white walking
Not in a hearse
White is light, right
Wear white at night
White looks so clean
White's safely seen.
Why wear black shoes?
They don't show mud
Black coats and hats
They won't show blood
White hat, scarf, matching gloves
Safer for all your loves
If you don't want them back
Send them out wearing black..
