One Good Turn

Lately, I have a propensity to turn left.

What a sad state of affairs,

to be merely a single-directional being.

At a resturant, I was told that the men's room was down the hall,

and the first door on the right.

I couldn't make that turn, and ended up in a closet.

When I finished mopping the floor,

my date asked me to take her home.

We're still driving.

At my next opportunity, I'm going to try and drive backwards.

Then, I'll be able to get her home safely...

..for I'll be all "right", then.
