Ugh, ugh ~~ a 'Mind the Sign' poem

Source Unknown

Sign says

Sign says don't do that, but
do they really mean 'that'

Will exceptions be made
Money, power, boldness

Those blessing will far
Don't be afraid to ask

A dollar or a pound
Opens doors, goes places

If for art or for hire
Makes a difference sure

Take your chances today
'Morrow I might say no

Today I'm on the take
Another day means "no"

Oh yes, a little bribe can solve it all. I might decide to park there after all then.

Love the humorous wordplay, in your poem, Jim, as it brought a smile, to me. For that alone, this poem earns a huge approval, from me. Thanks.

It seems to happen most in countries where people are poorest, have you noticed?

Almost seems like you are describing a game of golf ;) Frustrating when the haves and have nots compare....even the right strokes can guarantee a win.

I love the direction you took in this poem. It's a clever take on the picture.

Your humor is always something to look forward to, Dr Jim! The pic itself is indicative of what you have in store!

Oh dear! Very clever, but kind of awful to contemplate. Take care, Jim. k.
