Brusque Crossing Guard!

TWEEEET!

"Stop." (we stop!) "Wait." (we wait!) "Go now." (we go!) "Move it." (...we move it, real slow — no, FAST!)

No "how are you," no "lovely day," No long goodbye, no chat. Just short sharp words that get it done — And that, my friend, is that!

BRUSQUE! Brusk! Short and quick and clear! BRUSQUE! Brusk! Few words — but you'll hear!

TWEET TWEET!

"Bus." (the bus!) "Left." (we look!) "Clear." (all clear!) "Cross." (...thank you!) "...mm-hm. Move along, dear."

BRUSQUE! Brusk! Short and quick and clear! BRUSQUE! Brusk! Few words — but you'll hear!
