my right is your left

If you ever ask me for directions always watch my hands and ignore whether I say left or right.

I have a tendency to call every turn a right turn but if you watch my hands, the hands tell the truth.

It’s a problem I’ve always can remember having.

I feared the Hokey Pokey.

Still do today, I guess.

I had the reputation as being the smartest first grader but I failed the Hokey Pokey portion of the class.

Maybe that’s why I don’t understand some things sometimes because you know – the Hokey Pokey, that’s what it’s all about.

Maybe that’s why I say I’m right but I’m actually left.
