On a Park Bench

I sat on a park bench one day
It didn’t have much to say
Just a lone sign
I should’ve aligned
It said wet paint to my dismay

You made me smile, Russell, I would have sat and not seen the wet paint on my clothing walking away with no clue. Until some innocent and honest person lets me know.
