CAUTION!

A poem of awareness

The many signs along the road of life
Start with CAUTION!
CAUTION road has a sharp turn ahead
CAUTION read these directions before using or taking
CAUTION open from this side only
Do you read all the caution signs?
Those in red that are designed
To inform you of the danger near
Or are you one of those who have no fear
A caution sign can make good sense
It’s not just there to make you tense
To cause you grief after you’ve spent
Your hard-earned dollars reserved for rent
Read the labels and follow the rules
They are there for you as a guiding tool
For your health and safety combined
As it advises you of the proper timeline
So read the signs and heed the warnings
You’ll be glad you did
When you wake up the next morning!
