A Word To the Wise Is Sufficient

A Word to the Wise is Sufficient

By Elton Camp

We see a sign:  “Next services 100 miles away,”
 It would be a very good idea if we should obey
We better be sure that the car is full of gasoline
That in a restroom, too, we have just been seen

In an emergency, we might hide behind the car
But without any gas, we wouldn’t get very far
Thus, when gas and bathroom are that far away
It’s not wise to ignore and take a chance that day
