How To Turn Left

How To Turn Left

(didactic)

Stand under the proscenium arch

Listen to show tunes till doomsday comes

Dawn with the songs of ever lasting darkness

Tap dance your last dance on Broadway

Burn the last lime light down

Take midnight with you

Pay no tolls until you are told to

When leaving New York City

Buy a Hybrid Prius on the road

Equipped with liberal intentions

With a west coast radio and global warming controls

With a turn signal leaning left

Place your index finger and thumb on it

Push down until you get to somewhere rainy

Stop!

Think before you start

Follow signs to California

Wait for a fault line crack to appear

Watch it become a Democrat

Move gently and friendly towards green

Hug a tree for me

Never become an old white man

Elect some one young with hair

Avoid bald spots at all cost

And railroad Catholic crossings

Register as a Liberal

Turn on CNN

Read the New York Times

Just stop! ….. I'm getting car sick

Let me out

Time well spent is behind you

Who needs a mind when you own a Prius

Author's Note

My apologies to owners of Toyota Hybrid Prius vehicles. There is nothing wrong with them or the people who drive them. This is a simple didactic poem on the subject of turning left. (It is not the same as turning demonic....or so I'm told.. :)
