No Signs of Life

No jaywalking, 
Instead use the overpass; 
No loading and unloading 
Of passengers male or lass.

No parking
Of the cars old and new; 
No overspeeding, 
Eyes watch from the view.

No tailgating, 
Drive not too closely behind; 
No overtaking, 
Life is on the line.

No u-turn
Every minute of the day; 
No stopping anytime
At the well-paved freeway.

No smoking, 
It's odorous to one's breath; 
No littering, 
Make no mess to one's health.

No trespassing, 
The land is not yours; 
No entry, 
Guards stand at the doors.

Post no bill
To enjoy easy movement; 
No vacancy, 
Nothing but room for improvement.

These and more make man
Refrain from any strife; 
Neither going out on a limb, 
Nor breaking no signs of life.
