The Unsupervised Stop Sign

THE UNSUPERVISED STOP SIGN STOP! Said the sign at the crossing, Plain and bold in red. But I was in a hurry And had to get home to bed. The sign was quite unsupervised And no-one was in sight. So nobody would see me At this time of the night. I put my lights on full beam And drove on past the sign. The patrol car hit me broadside. Now I face a hefty fine. I said I had to get to bed And that’s turned out all right. I’m just about to go to sleep. Thank you, nurse. Good night.
