Incredible Product Warnings

By Elton Camp

Far from folly this hair dry warning is keeping
In telling snoozers, “Do not use while sleeping”

Thinking of putting a curl in your colon or tongue? 
“For external use only,” on curling iron is hung

This most would know, you certainly would think:

Winds blow leaves rustle the branches strike the windows
 the dogs are restless and move from the sofa to their crates
 I watch the leaves and branches as they dance a war 
 dance the dance of ancient tribes twirling around rocks and winds ...

Amazing how drugs do get sold
when warnings in ads are so bold;
more time often spent on what to prevent
before what they're good for is told.

These warnings may not be so wise
though scary, we must realize
lab-testing does show that problems are low
so warning lists are compromised.

So...

It was also too hot last week

Foggy Flood Warnings! ©

Bells on my fingers, bells on each toe
Jingle and jangle wherever I choose to roam
Fog horns blast to guide and warn travelers
As fire licked flames burn open-handed 
Ice is cold and sun is hot...

Humanity's cruise

The ship rapidly goes down

More music and dance!*

* While natural phenomena become fiercer and more distractive by the year, 
 see Australia, New Zealand, Peru, Bolivia, humans seem to ignore nature's
 warnings!...

Tumultuous skies of molten lead,
 Ominous air thick with dread.
 Rotation begins its deadly dance,
 Nauseous swirling spurring its advance.
 Allied together hail, lightning, rain,
 Drop from the sky with thunderous refrain.
 Out of the clouds the funnel descends.

 Whirling dervish hits the ground,
 Alarms...

To hell with warnings of fools
I want to live where love rules
I want to live in your heart
Nothing can keep us apart
Baby you are my soul-mate
You are like my Juliet
I’ll love you no matter what
No one can keep my mouth shut
I’ll tell again and again
You...

          The doctor gave me a prescription for medicine,
and all the container said was, take two pills at bedtime;

There were blizzard warnings.
We scoffed at them. We were young,
and our children had to see their grandparents for Christmas.

No matter what, we were going to get there from Chicago.
Not concerned about the snow, we did not stop even after they closed the interstate.
We had already...

Taking use of a waterfly
She merrily drifts on
To a tired petty refuge...
For the last time.
The waterfly is gentle
Beyond it's appearance.
It's wings bellow 
A deep hum 
And it's ventriloquist  eyes
Are forever waiting beneath the sea.
You lay a few cautious kisses
Upon it's head.
It's been so tedious...

O Whirlwinds blowing whispers of wisdom,
storm the stage of sin-laden stardom;
Fling famous fools out fictitious freedom...
and banish them from beautiful boredom.

O whirlwinds bereft of echoes of errors,
tear down the twin towers of all terrors.
Remove the masks that mar mortal mirrors...
Do not exempt empty hearted emperors.

O...

sharp sound of church bells
on a cold crystal clear night
warns heaven and hell
to try harder to do right
not give up on the good fight

strong gusts of north wind 
ominous clouds now hover
no good they portend
bad time to feel hung over
makes good sense to find cover
