Roadside Poetry

Well, I suppose that I am again revealing my age, But I grew up when Burma Shave signs were all the rage! Could it be that those 'masterly creations' sparked my poetic bent, As I soaked up a tad of 'culture' as down the rural roads I went? "Buddy, if its a bit of romance you crave; Best you slather yer mug with Burma Shave!" "Why would she deign to give you a cuddly hug? Better use Burma Shave to smooth yer bristly mug!" "Fer a smoother shave here's the latest buzz; Use Burma Shave to rid yer mug of all that fuzz!" "If you really want to set that romance on fire; Use Burma Shave to smooth yer mug of all that brier!" "If you need to clear yer mug of that five-o'clock shade; Use a heap of Burma Shave with yer razor blade!" "If scratchy whiskers are causing romance to be rather grim; Perhaps a dab of Burma Shave would smooth yer trim!" "If yer love-life with her has nearly disappeared; Maybe its time to lather-up with Burma Shave on yer beard!" "If yer whiskers are as scratchy as a field of thistles; Use Burma Shave on your kisser to rid it of all those bristles!"
