This was submitted by Bethany who also submitted my all-time favorite, "security guard". I like to believe that this is the first in a set of traffic signs which contain the body of the poem, "Watch for Cyclist"
"Clientes"

"watch for cyclist"
I await a bus;
A passing cyclist asks the time.
I give him my watch.
"Watch for Cyclist"
I wait, looking down the road
Waiting still, I look in anticipation
Until
She comes, a flash of tires and handlebars
She goes by quickly
I miss her already
Like a blur in the night
slipping betwixt steely behemoths
balancing burdens blithely
Children all know to
watch for Cyclist
whose narrow wheels bring thrills
Stairs and windows no impediment
Cyclist delivers to city dwellers
unfettered by rules of the road.
I do believe this is actually the sub-title for the Will Farrell movie "Stranger Than Fiction"
And to think... if they hadn't used those unnecessary quotation marks, they would've had room to pluralize "cyclist"! (Or is there literally just one person on a bike that needs to be watched for?)
"watch for cyclist"
I hear a swishing
a mere blur in the corner
she has a wedgie.
watch for cyclist... sounds like a fair trade
(slightly altered demetri martin joke)
There once was a cyclist"/" Who wanted the time"/" Off of "Mapquest""/" For "merely" a "dime""/" So I gave her my "watch""/" For merely a tree of limes "/" "Watch for Cyclist," a grammatically challenged poem in desparate need of a better subtitle.
