Poems
Sep 2012
Always start with the left!
I have some universal advice to give
To help with all you do
It's a simple little thing you see
It's as easy as one two
A girl asked me out dancing
This is something that I dread
Then I remembered my old grandad
He was talking in my head
He said...
Always lead with the left my boy
The left's the proper one
They're expecting you to use the right
But, it's the left that gets things done
I got drafted in the army
And at marching I was sad
I always got my feet mixed up
Then I thought of my grandad
Marching was a treat from then
With my grandad in my head
I'll break it down in squads for you
Here's exactly what he said...
He said...
Always lead with the left my boy
The left's the proper one
They're expecting you to use the right
But, it's the left that gets things done
I joined the army boxing team
I was skinny, quite absurd
There was no way I could ever win
Then I heard my grandads words
I took two rounds to win my bout
My master corporal was surprised
I had listened to my grandads words
And only got me one black eye
He said...
Always lead with the left my boy
The left's the proper one
They're expecting you to use the right
But, it's the left that gets things done
I met a girl while home on leave
I took her home to bed
And in the back I thought I heard
something grandad once had said
He said...
Always start with the left my boy
The left's the proper one
They're expecting you to use the right
But, it's the left that gets it done.
