Heed thy siren’s call

I had one of the later iterations of this device. It emitted a variety of shrill wails that vaguely approximated those that might be respectively produced by police cars, ambulances and fire trucks. It was loud enough to be Ragnarok’s herald, and I think my father finally got fed up with it and buried it in the backyard one day while I wasn’t looking.

Just what every neighborhood needs — kids with sirens on their bikes.
