The Right Side

I was on the right side of the Great Divide, and shore side of the incoming tide but the wrong side of you We were on the dry side of that Tennessee pride and you were drive side when we hit that RIDE (b) which saved me from a DUI. (b) I take life in stride, look for the bright side with eyes open wide, savour life’s slow glide but your leaving left me blue. (a) Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere or RIDE is a sobriety testing program used by police in Ontario, Canada. The program began in 1977 as Reduce Impaired Driving in Etobicoke and the success of the program led to the expansion across the province of Ontario. Wikipedia (b) Driving Under the Influence

So weird (and wonderful) to read a poem here with Ontario lingo! In my neighbourhood there are a lot of e-bikes, due to the high number of DUIs ;), Pleasure to read, have a lovely day ~Maureen
