IGNORE NOT STOP SIGN
"Don't ignore the stop sign on a big yellow school bus even if you are in a hurry, the cops might be around the corner watching you."
We strive to be honest, nothing to hide
Championing decency with humble stride
Yet proofs show otherwise
We're also fools, not wise
when we ignore stop sign, just on our side.
Let's not ignore yellow school bus' stop sign
Such serves as warning with cheerful design
Though we're in a hurry
Feeling late, we're sorry
We ought to comply; to rules, we align.
Obeying road-safety rules is a must
While the Lord Who does protect us, we trust*
Thanking cops with their seal
Who do their best midst zeal
So when we're caught against laws, such is just.
*Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.
