Thanks for your helpful comment. So I was being too subtle and cutesy. The allegory is from 'The Music Man,' a 1950s era stage play (1960s movie). The fire was to be the slippery slope to "the gates of hell".
Trouble, oh we got trouble,
Right here in River City!
With a capital "T"
That rhymes with "P"
And that stands for Pool,
That stands for pool.
We've surely got trouble!
Right here in River City,
Right here!
Gotta figger out a way
To keep the young ones moral after school!
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble...
