Out of Sight

Elderly Ed Yates had trouble seeing
but he kept on driving unperceiving.
Alas one day he slipped
and he and his car flipped.
The mess he left was beyond conceiving.

Judging by the amount of accidents I think that there are many drivers who would benefit from sight tests - great limerick Paul:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you for commenting, Adam. A better last line might have been "The mess he left set folks to heaving."
