BEN MET ANNA/ MADE A HIT / NEGLECTED BEARD/BEN-ANNA SPLIT Burma Shave!

June 28, 2009 5:33 PM

I need a burma shave rhyme for wedding signs! The place I am getting married is out in the middle of nowhere...

you drive and drive then you come over the crest of a hill and it's RIGHT there so easy to miss. Plus the farm is on either side of the road so people (kids) could be walking across. I'd like to warn people with Burma shave style signs - 4 or 5 - that their destination is coming up. Relevant info it's a farm, our names are Becca and Mike.

Just writing off the top of my head...

Your destination
is up ahead
so follow these signs
so we can be wed!

Now you're almost
halfway there
and how fantastic
is Becca's hair?

You've almost made it
to the crest of the hill
the first one to get there
wins a trip to Brazil
(or not)

Look straight ahead
to end your hike
and celebrate
with Becca and Mike

So, do you want 4 of 5 sequences, or a 4-5 sign sequence?

Mike and Becca's
Home is NEAR
Over this hill
And you are HERE
MIKE AND BECCA

You're almost at
Our wedding Mecca
Keep heading straight
for Mike and Becca!

Each mile looks
A lot alike
But head this way
For Becca and Mike

There is no need
For alarm
You're almost at
Our wedding farm

It's awfully close
So stay alert
For the wedding farm
(And hey! Nice shirt!)

The farm is nearing
We confess
Very soon, you'll see
Becca's dress!

Becca and Mike
Are filled with cheer
You should be, too —
You're almost here!
