Create Your Own Burma-Shave Signs!

[Henry]

I was looking for a thread where you would make up your own poems that were inspired by the old Burma-Shave signs, but found none, so I created this one. What would your messages read if you were in charge of them?

Here's what mine would say:

Obey all traffic laws
That's what you must do
To avoid any trouble
From the people in blue

Burma-Shave

Let's see some more!

That doesn't end with "Burma shave".

Nice.  But it needs to be spaced out more.  Burma Shave jingles normally appeared on a set of five to six signs - this was principally to limit the total number of words on a sign.  I would revise it to:

Obey All Laws

As You Should Do

To Avoid Any Trouble

From The People

In Blue

BURMA SHAVE

Now, my entry.

FOREST CAMPING?

SOUNDS REALLY NICE

LEFT LANE CAMPING?

BETTER THINK

TWICE

BURMA SHAVE
