Beware of the Tiger

by Joey deVilla on April 9, 2008

Apparently it’s Poetry Month. I like annoying poetry fans with my follow-up to Audre Lorde’s oft over-quoted line, “Poetry is not a luxury”: “Yeah, luxuries are things people want and are willing to pay big bucks for.”

But seriously, folks…the reason I like the tiger warning sign below is that it has more poetry than a sign that simply says “Danger: Tiger”.

Warning sign for tiger: “Only those who strongly believe in rebirth should risk going near.”

Love it!

It might be nice to spell Audre Lorde’s name right, however. (I think she’d like your comment.)

@Debbie Notkin: Good catch, and thanks for the heads-up!
