Re: Cross Children Walk

posted 2002 by Duncan

The Poem is Called "I'll Take the High Road Commission".

It goes like this:

In between the route marks And the shaving rhymes, Black and yellow markers Comment on the times. All along the highway Hear the signs discourse:

MEN S L O W WORKING ; SADDLE C R O S S I N G HORSE .

Cryptic crossroad preachers Proffer good advice,

Helping wary drivers Keep out of Paradise.

Transcontinental sermons, Transcendental talk:

SOFT C A U T I O N SHOULDERS ; CROSS C H I L D R E N WALK .

Wisest of their proverbs, Truest of their talk, Have I found that dictum:

CROSS C H I L D R E N WALK .

When Adam took the highway, He left his sons a guide:

CROSS C H I L D R E N WALK ; CHEERFUL C H I L D R E N RIDE .

Any Help?
