How about:
To peeps in the crosswalk
You should yield
Because these peeps
Don’t come with a force fieldBonus points for visuals
Just thought of a shorter version of this:
Peeps in crosswalk
Drivers should yield
Because these peeps
Have no force fieldJune 26, 2015 at 8:23 pm #1033039scoot
ParticipantFriday afternoon in the office… time for some limericks:
If you can’t seem to drive on this block,
Without using your phone for a talk,
Then you’re putting a stranger
In very grave danger
You could hit someone out for a walk.If you’re always in such a mad dash,
You could be the cause of a crash
If your foot’s full of lead
Then a bike or a ped
becomes blood stained all over your dash.A little girl wonders, “where’s my dad?”
When she learns, she will break down and cry, sad,
Because dad’s bike was hit
By an arrogant twit
Who thought he could drive with his iPad.Here’s more of a Burma shave meter:
Please hang up your phone
and don’t send that text.
Have any idea
what’s coming up next?
Pedestrian crossing
Is right up ahead
If you are distracted
Someone will be deadDefinitely leaning toward the morbid here. I suppose it’s tough to be light-hearted while conveying the proper message though…

Thanks Scoot! You are awesome.

ParticipantThe short ones are better- quicker to create, quicker to read (remember we’re competing with I phones, GPS, visual distractions, and short attention spans), and are halfway to Haiku.

ParticipantRide a bike?
Drive a car?

If you’re deadThis one wins my vote. Great combination of brevity, meter, rhyme, and message.

ParticipantOkay, I’m in. Here’s a few:
Out on the streets
Take your time and behave
(or: Be a PAL and behave)
You may get a smile
And a big, friendly waveGetting to home
That’s all that I wished
You looked at your phone
Now I am squishedTexting is great
YouTube is good
Don’t look at your phone
Or I’ll bounce off your hoodLate for a meeting
It’s down to the wire
Pay attention, though, Dude
Or I’ll be under your tireC’mon, be Predictable
Be Alert and be Lawful
If you’re not a PAL
The results may be awfulI could do this all day! But I suppose I should do some actual work, maybe.

ParticipantWhen you pay your tab and leave the bar,
Please take a cab and not your car.Please don’t text, or dig in your purse
Or we’ll be riding home by hearse.Use caution at the wheel
So you don’t put the children on wheels [insert wheelchair symbol here].July 2, 2015 at 5:06 pm #1033354Crickey7
