What would you think of a STOP sign who hates red?
His preference would be for a mauve instead.
He really hates the word STOP – it sounds so commanding,
He’d prefer to say YIELD, it’s much less demanding.
He's also concerned STOP signs are being phased-out
Now that the towns are building those round-abouts.
The round and the square signs they make him feel chided,
He feels that people hate him because he’s eight-sided
There’s so many great colors to choose in a rainbow
Why couldn’t he be bright orange or green day-glow?
So he rounds off his corners and purchases paint
No longer pretending he’s something he ain’t,
He’s no longer octagonal and he’s no longer red
Instead of saying STOP, he's gonna say “Full speed ahead!”
