Always Be in the Right

It seems I have the strangest problem
well, so far in life you see.
My left turn signal will not work
when temperature’s soar
above 90 or more.

So I’m thinking I need to map
a route for errands each day
to get from here to there
turning right all the way.

Now if I should need to join
the long, long post office line,
I could back out of my driveway
then head west the other way.

Turning right on Ninth,
then right at Orchard,
it’s easy now, go forward
geeing into the lot.

Yet how do I get home?
Turn right when leaving
then right on 1st
then right on Highland
then quench my thirst.

Then right on Ninth
and right on Juniper
right on Pine, aha!
Right into my driveway.

Now if the weather’s cool
less than 90 as a rule
it’s one left turn, then a right
then a left from the lot
a left on 7th and a right on Pine,
then into my driveway before
half-past nine.

I’m so glad there are
no one-way streets in our little town
if there were, I’d really have
a tough time finding my way around.

Virginia, do you live in my town? There's a route here with those street names that are sure to work your magic! Stupid poem? Not at all...not when it made me laugh!

Well, Sunshine, do you live in Oregon?

That would narrow it down a bit, cuz if you don't, that takes care of it.

btw, I called it stupid because it rhymed, then it didnt', it had rhythm, then it didn't, much like trying to find my way around, plotting ahead of time to avoid left turns.

Glad it made you laugh.
