Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Road Sign

Five older ladies in a car
Were out driving on the highway.
Deeming their slow speed quite bizarre,
A cop stopped them, to the dismay
Of the driver, who to him said
A sign marked 5 that they had passed,
And 5 was the speed that she sped.
Not going too slow or too fast.
"That sign was the road number, not"
"The speed limit," the cop replied.
The passengers looked overwrought.
He inquired and the driver sighed,

"The girls do look a little green."
"We just got off Route 119."
