Proper Signage

Signs, signs, everywhere

People should wear warning signs,

you don’t get what you see

A hey, “I’m a sack of messy shit,

you’d do well to let me be.

⚠️

Instead they walk around all smiley,

like, “I will be your friend”.

Then like Wiley coyote,

they plan to help you meet your end.

⚠️

You’ll never see it coming,

as quick as lightning strikes.

The gloves come off and your flailing,

with an x between your eyes.

⚠️

Don’t you dare make eye contact,

that will get you every time.

But don’t you take your eyes off them,

or they’ll get you from behind.

⚠️

Yeah, people should wear warning signs

not to, is just unfair

You’ve been forewarned, I told you so,

So, you’d better be prepared.
