Driving On the Left

(This is a fictional poem) While visiting England, I had to get used to driving on the left side of the highway. I accidentally drove on the left when I returned to the USA. I had a wreck and I almost totaled a limousine. When I saw that the owner was a woman, I thought I'd get off easy but she was very mean. She had sharp fingernails and she gouged them into my gut. Then she took a rusty pair of tweezers and tore off my nuts. She smashed my head on the asphalt about seven or eight times. I'm in so much pain that I'm having trouble making this poem rhyme. Compassion wasn't something that this woman showed. If you and this lady are ever on the same highway, you'd better drive on the right side of the road.
