At the Sign - a Poem for NaPoWriMo 2024 Day Thirteen

 


        Sidewalk Closed 

"Sidewalk Closed," that's what the sign said 
No other words, there's just those two 
'Twas abrupt, a slap in the face 
A traffic jam in the morning 

Runners piling up, a big heap 
Like falling dominoes, pile grows 
One body upon another falling 
Straight line not one falls to the side 

Call the cops before someone's hurt 
Laughing because there's nothing else 
The sides are mud, a sticky mess 
Puddles too would get in their shoes 

Get up and turn back nothing else 
Nothing else to do--laugh it off

I think this might be a bit of a tall tale, but it's fun to read.
