BEST OF THE REST
Thanks to all who entered

TENNESSEE HIGHWAY PATROL TOOK SOME DESERVED HITS
Submitters names omitted to protect the guilty

If you are out here at night
You can almost see Venus
Good God was that a LEO
That just went between us?
BURMA SHAVE

Smell your ticket
Presented by a LEO
Chances are
It smells like BO
BURMA SHAVE      

My wife had a LEO
Get mighty flirty
Just because
I couldn't keep it under thirty
BURMA SHAVE

A speed over thirty
I have been told
Will line Tennessee's
Pockets with mucho gold
BURMA SHAVE

I once was scared of
The Dragon's mighty curve
But now it is just
The ticket I didn't deserve
BURMA SHAVE

Don't stick out your thing
To go wee wee
You might get it clipped
By the THP
BURMA SHAVE

The THP must be
Really small
So they stand on the Dragon
To make themselves feel tall
BURMA SHAVE

Flip Flop
Don't Get Stopped
Watch The Cop
BURMA SHAVE

AND SOME OTHER GENERAL TOPICS

Old Man Biker
Shaved his face clean
For 15 years
His chin he had not seen
BURMA SHAVE

Fold up your pegs
And tuck in your knees
Let off the brake
Or move over …please…
BURMA SHAVE

Do not meddle
In dragon affairs
For you are crunchy
And taste good with ketchup
BURMA SHAVE

In 11 miles

Lots of smiles
BURMA SHAVE

Get your tail
On the Dragon,
So you can do
Lots of braggin!
BURMA SHAVE

The road is steep
your bike is fast
better slow now
if you want to last
BURMA SHAVE

Harley or Honda
Sportbikes and crusiers
As long as no one crashes
We have no loosers
BURMA SHAVE

Twisty curves
And switchback city
Make the Dragon
Relly pretty
BURMA SHAVE

You’re on two wheels
The road you’re yearning
Enter the Dragon
Enjoy the turning.

SAFETY ADVICE

318 curves
A little to fast
Beard now grows
Under a body cast
BURMA SHAVE

Slow it down
Don’t go so fast
You'll slip and slide
You'll bust you’re a_ _
BURMA SHAVE

Ride The Dragon
Have a Ball
Just keep it safe
For one and all!
BURMA SHAVE

Look straight ahead
And not at the people
Or you may find yourself
In a building
With a steeple
BURMA SHAVE

Your bike is cool
And so are your clothes
But mind that semi
Coming straight at your nose
BURMA SHAVE

Short sweeping curves
And vast rolling vistas
But please be alert
Or go home with blisters
BURMA SHAVE

Please look at the road
And don’t pose for Killboy
Or you may find yourself smiling
From underneath your new toy
BURMA SHAVE 

Not wearing a helmet
It ain't too smart
May give your family a chance
To donate your heart
BURMA SHAVE

The Dragon's blind curves
Can be a scary place
Especially when a Semi
Stares you in the face
BURMA SHAVE

Road and bike
We wish you luck
Don't get hit
By a truck
BURMA SHAVE

When you ride the Dragon
Hold on tight
If you're reckless of foolish
The Dragon will bite
BURMA SHAVE

Ride your own ride
On the Tail of the Dragon
So you don't go home
With your "tail" a-draggin'
BURMA SHAVE

Three hundred eighteen
Curves abound
Keep them fun
Don't lay her down
BURMA SHAVE

Road rash from
The Dragon's Tail
Doesn't make you
More a male
BURMA SHAVE

I thought to tame her
Who was I kiddin'
Now she has me
At her biddin'
BURMA SHAVE

Tho sinuous curves
May hypnotize
Respect that power
Beneath your thighs
BURMA SHAVE

Go astray
And cross the yellow
You may meet
Another fellow
BURMA SHAVE

In your lane
You must stay
If you don't
You will pay
BURMA SHAVE

Watch your back
On this here road
Unless you like being
Squashed like a toad.
