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!
There once was a man from Nantucket...

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
