Mistakes

Mistakes will sometimes appear on signs It's best to read between the lines While driving down the road You may see a sign that says "your car will be toad" That one's quite a croaker! You might see a sign in a car lot That seems to miss the spot It may give you reason to pause Because it says, "We bye used cars" Wave bye bye to your sales! A motel sign adverstising its free internet Has something extra you may get Instead of free Wifi without strife It offers you "Free wife" Say I do to that one! This one will put a smile on your face Because it reads, "This is a work free drug place" I guess the employees are getting by With smoking weed and getting high It might be a high paying job at that! --

So very humorous. Sometimes even a comma, put in the wrong place makes so much of a difference. I saw a road sign once at a road under repair. Instead of "Slow, work in progress" it was " Slow work, in progress"! Congratulations Joseph on your POTD.

I love your entertaining verse. I do see those type of signs sometimes and it makes me glance twice; did I read that correctly. Congratulations on POTD.

I appreciate the good humor today, Joseph. Reminds me of a restaurant I went to for lunch that had a chalkboard highlighting the special of the day, "Human Beef." They really meant it to say "Hunan Beef" and were quick to change it when it was brought to their attention ;) Congratulations on Poem of the Day!
