Don't Play with the Rattlesnakes
(A Kyrielle Poem) I found myself quite astounded. It was placed there for safety sakes. These few words really resounded, "Please don't play with the rattlesnakes". 'Twas posted at the park entrance. As I pulled up and set my brakes, I read the purported hindrance "Please don't play with the rattlesnakes". I guess it is necessary Whenever public undertakes To camp where a sign's so scary, "Please don't play with the rattlesnakes". These facts should come naturally, Beyond what all common sense takes. I don't need a sign to tell me, "Please don't play with the rattlesnakes". |
I guess some people do.
I was camping in South Dakota and pulled into the Bad Lands State Park. That was exactly the sign posted in the window at the ranger check-in spot. They also handed us a brochure that said the same thing. I was amazed that they needed to say it. I quess there's no telling what people will do.
