Driving on the wrong side of the road

Gotta watch out for those English drivers...;)


Poem Artwork

Driving on the wrong side of the road…J


 


See what can occur,


When driving in England without a chauffeur,


If a driving manual from the states they did to refer,


These kinds of accidents would not all the time recur…J


 


So cute the little towns of Great Britain,


Of this country I have become quite smitten,


Don’t tell me the above driver did try to avoid a kitten,


It was just that he drove on the wrong side of the road,


By the “wrong way bug” he must have been bitten…L


 


No longer is his Bimmer worth too much,


With his insurance company he is now in dutch,


He said he got his shoelace stuck on the clutch,


Now he must walk with a limp or resort to a crutch…J


         


The moral herein states,


To keep down your insurance rates,


One must learn to drive only on the straights,


For corners on the wrong side of the road,


Can bring on the most hazardous of fates…J

Great message, Ed. I hate those wrong way drivers. I live between two one way streets, and I am always startled when I see someone coming head-on at me while they are going the wrong way on a one-way
Take care,
Sherry

Per Roger down there, Madison now has 'roundabouts' too... and I echo his sentiments: 'damn them!'

Hey, Eddie M, this is really lively, fab rhyming and rhythm you got here. A treat, indeed. Your morality thrust is handled with panache and a delivery worth reading twice, at least... so I did! (grin) You get better by the day, I swear! katy xox

p.s. Hmmmm... you were once a guy on a boat... now a skeleton? Jaysus, have I been away THAT long? Good grief! better email me so I know to relax... (how's that for soliciting mail? hehe) Take care...

England's "round-abouts" and New England's "rotories" - damn them both.
