<h1>MIGHT IS RIGHT</h1>

<center>

***A cemetery marker stone loudly proclaims,
At Glastonbury cemetery some people’s aims.
Some people determined to be in the right at any cost,
They simply must be in the right, even if all else is lost.
“Here lies Jimmy O’Shea,”
“Who died maintaining his right of way.”
“He was right, dead right, as he walked along.”
“But now he’s just as dead, as if he’d been wrong!”
Jimmy was walking across a pedestrian crossing
Any due care, aside he was tossing.
“I neither look to my right nor to my left,”
“This is my crossing, my senses bereft.”
Oh, did we fail to mention?
That you still need to pay attention?
Not for Jimmy, any of this common sense guff.
He ignored it all, and much other stuff.
As Jimmy, foolishly walking in his private world,
Stepped on to the Zebra crossing unfurled
A Juggernaut came roaring along,
A sixteen wheeler blaring it’s gong!
The driver, as they do, believed that might has right,
And knocked Jimmy O’Shea clear out of sight.***


***It took a pathologist, a veritable boffin
To supervise his remains, collection for his coffin.
Probably Jimmy didn’t have too much time to think,
Because his end came, quick as a blink,
But if he did, and was not overcome by fright,
He would have had satisfaction just knowing he was in the right!***
