Broken Rules

I think that I will never see
A rule unbroken; disagree?

Traffic laws, command for games;
Making false insurance claims.

Ten commandments, trespass signs;
People cutting checkout lines.

Litterers and all molesters;
Scammers cheating lame investors.

Those who simply won’t comply;
Laws for them just don’t apply.

Rule creators can’t persuade
Some that rules should be obeyed.

Don't you hate 'em! I may bend a rule from time to time, but I SELDOM break one. A super companion piece to 'Unbroken Rules.' Same excellent rhyme and cadence. Hugs, Keith
