Limerick.38. Road Sign Poem by Valsa George
Limerick.38. Road Sign
As Dick was driving his own truck,
His wagon jumped with a jerk
He saw ahead
Men shoveling mud
And a sign that read, “Slow men at work”
A missing comma on the board Suggests intelligence in coma in the head Reminded me of a board some time ago at Air India's office in Bangalore: dhanyavaad na keejiye dhoomrapaan That na going with dhyanyavaad meant: No thanks. Please do smoke. (Instead of Thanks. Please do not smoke.) The pity is that, despite my pointing out to the mistake to those concerned, they preferred to retain that funny board in their office for a long time. They had abundant sense of humour, as much as their Bobby Kooka had, who gave Air India that Maharaja symbol and frequently came out with many an ad packed with punch and pun. Humorous write Ma'm.
Interesting observation does the trick And out comes a limerick.
It reminded me of a road sign which said: Drive with carefully! :) a nice, light poem!
Brilliant Limerick.......thanks for sharing.....anjandev roy.
Amazing limerick. Very witty, humorous and entertaining. Loved reading it.
Really an entertaining piece written with a tinge of humour. Thanks for sharing Prof.
Too funny without that comma. It is suited though as they never look as though they could move in a hurry. Thank you for giving me a big smile dear Valsa X
