Rules: Something to think about

Rules: Something to think about

     

Do not text while driving. 

“It’s only for a minute of inattention.”

Speed Limit 30 Miles per Hour 

“That’s just recommended, right?”

Stop Sign 

“You mean completely?”

Handicapped parking only  

“You’re supposed to have a tag?”

 

Rules

 

                 

 

A Yellow light, slow down.  

“Then I won’t beat the red light.”

Yield 

“Isn’t that the same as Merge?”

Use Crosswalks  

“The shortest distance between two points…”

 

Stopped School bus with red lights flashing, STOP!  

“What do you mean $250.00?”

Rules

 

                 

 

No Smoking 

“But I don’t inhale, and it’s my right.”

Employees must wash their hands 

“But I haven’t touched anything dirty yet.”

Checkout limits of 10 items or less 

“But the line’s so short.”

Exit only 

“But I’m closer to this door.” 

 

Rules

 

         

 

 

 

Clean up after yourself – 

“Isn’t that what other people are for?”

Say please and thank you – 

“Why? If I get what I want.”

Pick up your dog’s droppings –

“Look where you’re going and It’s not my poop.”

Raise your hand if you want to speak –

“But then you won’t call on me first.”

 

Rules

 

Our world is filled with rules.

Some make sense

Some do not

But who are we to choose which ones to follow?

You may question or ignore

The choice is yours to make

Your choice does impact others

How they feel

How they react

And in some instances 

How we continue to survive and exist – together

 

Something to think about.

 

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
