LEFT OR RIGHT?

There’s a stalk behind the steering wheel of every make of car
To work the indicators (are you with me so far?)
Push it down to signal left and up to signal right’
Informing other drivers where you’re going day or night.
It isn’t rocket science, though I’m prepared to swear
That fifty percent of drivers don’t even know it’s there

I have seen some press left indicators and turn right, when encountered they just smile sheepishly! Well written dear poet. Congratulations on your win. Cheers.

That turn signal, such a simple little thing that lets all the other cars know what your intentions are! Crazy little thing, that I am glad was invented. This is clever, and simple. Congratulations on your win in my contest.

Thank you Miranda. I am not given to road rage but the nearest I get is when drivers expect me to guess where they are going!
