This is me reciting the poem below (1 minute, 3 seconds)


Anything Left Handed

There is a small minority
of people, not including me,
who do a lot of things the wrong way round;
few in number, that is true,
but one of them just might be you,
for several of their type are quite renowned.

These are they who, out of spite,
are sinister, or far from right
but this is not to say they live in sin;
for, “On the other hand,” they say,
“left-handed is the only way.
The left-hand side's the side that's going to win!”

In London, next to Golden Square,
is Beak Street in the West End where
the lefties have their own left-handed store;
but if you’re one of us, take heed:
do not go in unless you need
for ‘righties’ are a breed whom they abhor!

I drove down there the other day.
The traffic only goes one way:
the thoroughfare, you see, is not that wide.
Apologies to all the staff
but I just simply had to laugh:
the left-hand shop is on the right-hand side!
