The Poetry of License Plates

A pause to celebrate one of the last native forms of poetry, in the form of actual Arizona vanity plates I've seen:

There are careers:
ISUE4U
DJ 2 GO
SPA GRL

Or the lack therof:
WE FISH
OFF 2 DAY
FOR NOW

Monikers:
AIMER
B BONES
MOTOMBO

And strange nicknames:
NIMBUS9
CHIRP47
WAGGLES

Philosophies:
LUVRLYF
LIVN LG
KRPDIEM

And arcane mysteries:
ELYON
ARCHANG
SAGEONE

Sweet enigmas:
LV NOW (is that live, love or leave now?)
URCUTE (Are they talking to me?)
BUD (Solid, liquid or gas?)

And golden rules:
STAYCLN
BESWEET
GIVETHX

JSLKDAT
One-word poems
Like thoughts in the wind...
