Riddle: On clear days I search in silence,
my cool eye a shade of pale;
In billowing thickness with glaring red eye,
I screech and wail.
My power keeps you from the glow.
Ever-ready, you'll know to go.
Effete, you'll probably be too slow.

Answer: A smoke detector.
clear days - no smoke, the light is clear.
thickness - smoke, the light is red, it goes off.
Ever-ready - like the battery brand.
Effete - no power, it won't work.
