Burma Shave Signs
The painted signs could be found anywhere.
They were part of the scenery on a thoroughfare.
Much smaller than billboards were these little signs.
A number of them would form roadside lines.
They carried novel little examples of poetry.
One could not help but smile once they could see.
There were charming examples of wit displayed.
Anyone could read them in the sun or shade.
The signs were the products of an imaginative dream.
What an ingenious way to advertise shaving cream!
