I Was Right

I WAS RIGHT! I was right, but I was left to contemplate the joy of being right. I was correct, but in effect it’s quite the same as being right. I was wrong but not for long as someone said I might be right. I leaned right, she leaned left, and thus we fell apart. I was right, and so was she, how could we both be wrong?
