Horn OK Please - Except on Mondays


This Monday was ‘no-horn’ day.
What’s your take?
Mine is: as bad ideas go,
This one takes the cake.

You see, we horn
While a baby is born
In love forlorn
When weary, war-torn
At the pedestrian-moron.

Since you look at me askance
I need to further explain my stance.

You see, we beep
Everytime we weep
When the baby needs sleep
As the farmer herds sheep
At the pedestrian-creep.

Then, how can we shun
The finger on the gun?

I can see you don’t see eye-to-eye
Again, permit me to explain why?

You see, we horn-whistle
At the drop of a thistle
Or the launch of a missle
As it begins to drizzle
At the pedestrian-imbecile.

Every dog has its day, but ‘No-horn’ does not
If you disagree now, I pity your lot.
Even, by the way, when you read this loony verse
You may horn to lend voice to morbid curse.

The good news folks is
That ‘no-horn day’
Was a failure anyway.
There was no baby
No dog with raby,
No tears, no lost love, no pedestrian
No sheep, no thistle, no equestrian
No missle, no drizzle, no idiot gone bonk
Yet, millions of cars continued to honk.
