Three Person Sidewalk

3 Person Sidewalk

By Shani Jonas

 

Have you you ever tried to walk on a sidewalk

With three people side by side?

It's very hard you see.

Because of oncoming traffic from other pedestrians

Or scaffoldings and construction in the way

Or cuz of any other obstacle?

Well, one person usually gets pushed to the back

And I'm usually that one

While my friends are up ahead, chatting like there's no tomorrow

I'm at the back

Alone.

Oh, if only there was 3 person sidewalks

So no one would be left out

No one would be left behind.

Because 3 people on a two person sidewalk

One has to get isolated

But why is that one always me?
