- _Microft 6y agoYours sounds good. I crafted mine according to the pattern in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma-Shave#/media/File:BurmaShaveSigns_Route66.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma-Shave#/media/File:BurmaS... and tried to rhyme bemuses on resources and forces with questionable success. The article you linked to is nice and was never submitted here before. I hope you do not mind that I just did that.
