Burma-Shave
Burma-Shave signs were a clever and welcome
advertising diversion along America's highways from 1925 to 1963.
Signs were placed at intervals along the road -- each
showing a line of a 4-part rhyme, with the last sign usually reading
"Burma-Shave".
I think we all loved them!

Listen Birds
These signs cost money
So stay awhile
but don't get funny.
BURMA-SHAVE |

He saw the
train
He tried to duck it
Kicked first the gas
And then the bucket
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
Use this
cream
A day or two
Then don't call her
She'll call you
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
Does your
husband misbehave
Grunt and grumble
Rant and rave
Shoot the brute some
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
Past
schoolhouses
Take it slow
Let the little
Shavers grow
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
He had the
ring
He had a flat
She felt his chin
And that was that
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
We've made
grandpa
Look so trim
The local draft board's
After him
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
Many a
forest
Used to stand
Where a lighted match
Got out of hand
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
On curves
ahead
Remember, sonny
That rabbit's foot
Didn't save
The bunny
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
Substitutes
Are like a girdle
They find some jobs
They just can't hurdle.
BURMA-SHAVE |

Grandpa's
out with
Junior's date
Old technique
With brand new bait.
BURMA-SHAVE |

Dinah
doesn't
Treat him right
But if he'd shave
Dyna-Mite!
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
A peach
looks good
With lots of fuzz
But man's no peach
And never was
BURMA-SHAVE |
|
Approached
A crossing
Without looking
Who will eat
His widow's cooking?
