Say It Nicely

For the British always do!

Having spent a Spring in England,

we were "amused" by how polite

signs were.

It was never a "warning" 

but rather

or 

our favorite

And as Husband Jim always said,

while you were "minding your head"

you tripped on the uneven floor!

For Christmas, a dear friend gifted us with

An "English" sign

For who else would have

"Be Aware"!

Unlike the signs Americans hang on gates

like

or

It's not a scary sign

But one that lets you know that a

Corgi lives here!

On one of the warmer days after Christmas

we hung it on the back garden gate

To let all you enter know 

That a Corgi lives here.

Dolly, it seems, does approve of the sign!

And the most famous of all British signs

First published in 1939 at the start of World War II

and revived, it seems, in the 2000s

And besides the original where one "carries on"

it spun a whole group of "Keep Calms"

A Keep Calm for Everything!

Including Corgis!

But, of course, that would be appropriate

Queen Elizabeth, you see, has one or two or ten!

We, however, have

Dolly

Who enjoys her sign on the gate

and thinks, perhaps, that I should have a

"Corgi On" Sweater!

Dolly and I are joining Eileen  for Saturday's Critters.
