Beware of What Starts With a Hiss and a Roar

Beware of what starts with a hiss and a roar,
As it is sure to soon sport, a broken oar, 
With sellotape being sent for,
To cover up what is an obvious flaw.

Yes beware what starts with a hiss and a roar,
As something could be rotten to the core, 
With those afraid of being shown the door,
Looking to cover up that flaw. 

Beware of what starts with a hiss and a roar,
As it is you and me who will have to pay the more,
When the cover up is no more,
If those who knew about the flaw,
But kept going using an oar,
That should never have left the store,
Manage to sneak out the door.
