Chalkings

On the way to my Tai Chi class I noticed writings in chalk along the sidewalk.  They reminded me of the old Burma Shave slogans on wooden signs by the highway.  They provided entertainment for me as a child when we took car trips.  My father would challenge me to create my own versions.  We competed and laughed at the results as time passed to our destination.


If you are not familiar with the signs, learn more about them here:

Take a walk around your block and plan writings with a beginning, middle and end to inspire walkers.



What will you write in rhyme or simple one liners to spark curiosity and provide a smile for passersby?
