Yosemite Sam

On a hunting trip Yosemite Sam
shot up a loose can of spam
didn't taste like his usual venison
so took for precaution a spoonful of medicine

SIGNS

As I travel on a path
Or drive upon the road,
Signs communicate to me
With their certain code.
They are there to stipulate
Wherever I may roam.
Directing me inside a zone...
Carrying me home.
On their walls, doors and gates...
Fences and their posts.
If safety was a said party,
Signs would play the hosts.
Dictating my pace of speed...
Displaying navigation.
Precautions there ensuring me
Towards my

Early morning break
Thunder and lightning so sharp
Must take extra care.

Precaution With Forevision

When we are ditched by some people
And if we have conveyed our sorrow
Never think that their joy we cripple
As their behavior was damn narrow
Again at any time they may topple
Our precaution must be thorough
In case we just forgive and forget
We undermine us and may regret
Within our control is life I now bet
Just carefully deal with

The church pews were brimming with dust
Ushers were unable to give directions
For even the congregation was stuck up in isolation
Preachers had to minister to the echo of their own voices

No trace of humanity has witnessed such a calamity
A pandemic with the propensity to spread faster

Coronavirus Prevention

People are afraid of catching the Coronavirus, we've seen better days.
What we should do is to take precautions and it won't hurt to pray.
Regularly use an alcohol-based hand rub or water and soap.
People can avoid catching this virus, we shouldn't give up hope.
Stay at least three feet away from people who cough and sneeze.

Precaution, Vs Fear

Precaution, VS Fear
By: Tom

Just from what i see and hear,
an overabundance of precaution.
Can often lead into fear,
and constant hand “washin.”

An Oval Precaution

An Oval Precaution

Safety comes first when dealing with the oval
They are the shape of things to come
Which once was round before they found their way
Ovals start out as circles drawn upside down in lead
A thin line curved first between reality

Other objects follow them in calm accordance 
Ovals are not born or hatched from eggs
Imagination welcomes
