                   Incident Along Fantasy Way 
                          The Typo (2)

The first the manager knew of the error
Was when the clap of thunder woke him at dawn.
There in the crater where the swimming pool had been
Stood a stone tablet
Inscribed:
     "We do not in the foreseeable future
     Plan to rent from you.
     Nevertheless we feel impelled
     To protest your policy."
and signed by Loki, Kali, Thor, YHVH, Pele, Venus,
      Osiris, Fingal, and many more names --
Some familiar, most not.

Half knowing what to expect
He looked out front,
Then picked up the phone.
"Hey stupid!" he roared at the sign painter,
"You're getting words backwards again.
It's supposed to be
'No DOGS Allowed'."
