OBSOLETE LAWS
There are laws on the books as you’ll see; that have been there for centuries!
These are all facts; so sit back and relax; and picture why they came to be!
Missouri law doesn’t care; when you drive or where;
But you cannot drive with a bear thats alive, in your car anytime, anywhere.
Connecticut’s rules clearly say; that a bovine has the right of way.
They’ve given all cows the same rights they allow for pedestrians in their walkways!
Pretzels and beer? Don’t serve both here; North Dakota will put you in jail!
Either are fine; just not the same time; it makes you too thirsty I hear.
Orlando’s fair and doesn’t care, how you rode to where your are;
The parking meters charge the same for your elephant as your car.
In W. Virginia , you can smoke in church and that’s OK.
But just chew gum and they will come, and jail you right away.
Don’t teach your pets in Hartford! Connecticut’s pets must be dumb.
The law says no schooling your dog, no fooling; the fine is a hefty sum!
In Cleveland the shoe law describes, what you should wear or hide.
Because it reflects, a girls incorrect , to wear patent leather outside.
Californians protect many species, and arrest in the blink of an eye;
The law says you ought, not get yourself caught, molesting their butterflys.
Arizona’s cactus photograph well I hear;
But just cut one down, and you wont be around: the sentence is 25 years!
Forks at the ready? I think not my friend, the law in this case has them banned!
In Gainsville youre fined when you use forks to dine: fried chicken is eaten by hand.
Wyoming has laws for their bunny’s shy habits; They require a permit to photograph rabbits.
If you eat garlic your gonna be late, cause Indiana says you must wait;
Four hours or bust; before boarding a bus; so your breath doesn’t make us faint.
In Idaho suitors abound, distributing candy around;
But they take them to jail if they find any male giving out more than 50 pounds.
San Diego law says go, and use our parks all night, just so..
You arent found when the sun goes down, hunting our buffalo!
Rules grow obsolete; Its time that we delete!
I hope theyre late so edits wait, until again we meet!
