Congratulations On The All Clear (Fun Poem 67) Poem by David Harris

Everywhere you go
someone has hung a banner
saying Happy Birthday
or Happy Anniversary to someone.
However, the most unusual one
I have ever come across
was tied to a fence
opposite some traffic lights,
so when you stopped
it stood out like a beacon light
and written on it
you might well ask.
It read,
congratulation on getting
the all clear at the VD clinic,
and the names of those concerned
was written below.
Now when the letters
are two foot tall
you cannot miss them at all.
My heart goes out
to the names printed there
at their embarrassment
while everyone else was having
a damn good laugh.
