Burma Shave Signs

Anyone who has driven across this country in days of yore is familiar with ye olde Burma Shave signs. Designed to advertise Burma Shave shaving cream, they also entertained whole families in transit as they looked for the next line of rhyming verse posted on a simple sign. One line of a poem at a time until you read all four lines and then the sign-off, "Burma Shave." Family vacations just wouldn't have been the same without them.
