No statistician alive
could calculate babies saved
by the number of drunk drivers
who slowed down because of a sign
dangling precariously above car seats
like stupidity,
which, in the event of a collision,
becomes a flying projectile
that will poke your eye out…
boomerangs that come back to bite ya
causing harm or injury
which, oddly, can be determined
by hospitals across America.
Somehow approved by the Chairman of the Bored
who must have been…
but was still able to calculate profits
and forge ahead with the invention of
the car seat shield…
let’s remember now,
Safety First.
