Fallen Rock Zone
On a highway's "Fallen Rock Zone,"
You might be a little scared
For the warning signs were posted
So at least you'd be prepared.
But I've never seen a pebble
Take a tumble through the air
Or a boulder try to join the rocks
That are already there.
Which now causes me to wonder
Why attention must be callin'
To the fact that there's an area
Where rocks have somehow fallen.
For if safety were an issue,
It would be a simple thing
To remove the "en" from "fallen"
And replace it with an "ing."
