   what context is needed other than the definition of what Burma Shave is/was?   
      
   "Burma-Shave was an American brand of brushless shaving cream, famous for its   
   advertising gimmick of posting humorous rhyming poems on small sequential   
   highway roadside signs."   
      
    DK> Is this a reference to the product, or the Tom Waits music?   
      
   the product... why? because all of the Burma Shave quotes are from the signs   
   seen on the roadsides from back in the day...   
      
   the Tom Waits song, Burma-Shave, appears to be done in the style of the Burms   
   Shave roadside signs... it is, however, different from the original Burma   
   Shave song written by Roger Miller in 1961 and covered by several other   
   artists/groups...   
      
      
   FWIW: all of the above was gleaned in about 10 minutes from exactly that   
   original google search link i presented ;)
