No Common There (Fun Poem 72)

Some outside signs make you wonder whose brain was in reverse when they thought them up. I walked along a promenade there was a sign, which read No Smoking Zone. A little further down was a similar sign facing the other way. Therefore, for twenty yards you could not smoke between the signs. You could smoke an inch before the sign, but an inch further on you would incur a hefty fine. However, there was no sign to tell the wind not to blow the smoke into the direction of the smoke free zone. Any person with a bit of common could see no common there. 5 April 2008
