Yep, It's the Law

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Yep, It’s the Law

 

By Elton Camp

 

Weird laws are on the books in every state

Some abuse they at one time tried to regulate

 

For violations we aren’t likely to be arrested

But in the courts, very few have been tested

 

Alabama won’t allow a mustache that is fake

If in church any irreverent laugh it should make

 

Alaska says there’s to be no whispering in an ear

If with a moose hunt it should somehow interfere

 

If in Arkansas you fail to pronounce the name right

t is a crime and theoretically can get you in a tight

 

In Florida, if you tie an elephant to a parking meter

The laws requires that just as a car you must feed ‘er

 

In Georgia, to eliminate the chance of police raids

To change mannequin clothes, you close the shades

 

Since in Hawaii, you may well need to be able to float

Residents can be accessed a fine for not owning a boat

 

In Kentucky, offensive body odor you need not fear

Every citizen is required to take a shower once a year

 

In Massachusetts, the law may not let you go very far

If you are carrying a gorilla in the backseat of your car
