Children

not you cross reckless

look well on both sides.

leaking ball,

stand dry uncross

you can fall on his face,

and Jungle asphalt

tigers are buses

and lions are the cars.

not want to scare

for I want to brave

-brave and intelligent-

just want to remind

that cars have teeth

look well on both sides

avoid accidents.

must not go down the street

(on the road, that is)

or skate or bike

(you ask your poet)

skateboarding, bike

-that if it is dangerous

hope that ye do not bear

imitating their elders.

Show that you are the best!

(Gloria Fuertes)

Semaphores

We, the lights,

are to teach.

To tell you the colors,

you must be careful.

When the doll is red,

you can never go

but it does get green

then it will cross.

Trust me, good boy,

staring my signal

if I dressed in green

always invite you to cross.
