Drunken People crossing to me has a funny sound?
For a street sign prompt I became a blood hound!
But, with a Corona Virus Pandemic we cut driving down,
Time dragging to the Internet Highway I turned for what I found!
This one's related to those drink's I did once pound,
A late teen walking drunk and tired I sat on a curb by the ground,
Where I woke the next morning confused wearing a frown,
In a mixed Commercial / Residential area in my home town!
Lately I've been a bit sick and sort of just laying around!
Avoiding poem entry's from piling into a bigger mound,
With a respite I'm now feeling much more profound!
Though not following rules to which I may be bound?
At worse I may end up looking like some sort of clown!
Instead of rising ratings will my trends begin to drown?
A great review is as good as Anyone's Crown.
I Plead Mercy to poem reviewer's as I try to expound!

A Street Sign Writing Prompt Submission
Notes;
Street Signs: Take note of the words on signs and street names you pass while driving, walking, or riding. (Not necessarily a street sign) Write a poem starting with one of these words you notice. Explain where you saw the sign in your author notes.
No deadline.
I do not drive anymore due to my hand disabilities, and with the Corona Virus Quarantine - my (Wife) and Care Giver/driver has Also been Restricted by our Eldest (EMT) Son From going more than a few blocks in the general area where we live.
I been waiting and watching around my neighborhood for interesting signs beside the normal Caution, Xing, Stop and other signs.
Unsuccessful - I remembered taking a picture of a Speed bump sign that actually read/had Humps written on the ground by it and couldn't find that one anywhere either.
So my Brilliant (or Faulty) mind came up this Cyber search sign from another FB posting.
I'm Hoping for some leniency. This sign was Posted to my FB page on Cinco de Mayo (5/5/20) as a warning for anyone thinking of drinking and/or driving.
