Limerick.38. Road Sign Poem by Valsa George

Limerick.38. Road Sign

Rating: 4.5


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”

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Seeing such road signs, initially we will be confused. Soon we realize, a missing comma has done all mischief! !

Very common to bot yours as well as mine. I also used to ridicule this board sign. Question is, whether the people concerned read such worthy stuff. Whatever, nice to share the opinion. Thanks Valsa.

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
