Signs

Its JUNE.   The last day, praise.

 So when I see these signs pop up 3 MONTHS after this pandemic has begun it makes me feel bratty and mad and all kinds of other words like

recalcitrant

obstinate

rebellious

and annoyed

I mean for God's sake, did The Man just decide this was important?  More than masks?  More than handwashing?  Than staying home if you're sick?

It might as well say PLEASE DON'T SUE US IF YOU GET SICK.

Take the stairs.

And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you

woah!

Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign said anybody caught trespassing would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the house, Hey! what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, man you're some kinda sinner

Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

Now, hey you Mister! can't you read, you got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat, you ain't suppose to be here
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside

Uh!

And the sign said everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay, so I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine

Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, cant you read the sign!

I'm not wearing a mask in the parking garage, give me a break.  And if I don't know how to wear one after all these years you got bigger problems.

Thank you Lord, I'm alive and doing fine.
