~Ogden Nash, 1902-1971
In between the route marks
And the shaving rhymes,
Black and yellow markers
Comment on the times.
All along the highway
Hear the signs discourse:
MEN
S L O W
WORKING
;
SADDLE
C R O S S I N G
HORSE
·
Cryptic crossroads preachers
Proffer good advice
Helping wary drivers
Keep out of Paradise.
Transcontinental sermons,
Transcendental talk:
SOFT
C A U T I O N
SHOULDERS
;
CROSS
C H I L D R E N
WALK
·
Wisest of their proverbs,
Truest of their talk,
Have I found that dictum:
CROSS
C H I L D R E N
WALK
·
When Adam took the highway
He left his sons a guide:
CROSS
C H I L D R E N
WALK
;
CHEERFUL
C H I L D R E N
RIDE
