Introduction

My sainted Mother often said I was all thumbs when I botched up some task she gave me to do. Once she accused me of having two left feet when I stumbled over the new rag rug she had just finished weaving and placed in my room. We laughed about it as she hugged me. I have never forgotten that moment. Hence the poem below.

Circumnavigation

Perah Erkles, has 2 left feet.
"Right turns only" are imperatives.
He built a round house, (garage below,)
On the hill where Perah lives.

He spirals thru his dining room
And down a "Firemen's pole".
But once he steps into his car.
He's a high "Free spirit" soul.

Or was until his car broke down
And he could only walk in arcs.
So I was awed to see my friend
Out walking his dog Barques.

I couldn't understand the smirk
On the face of my friend Erkles
Till he said,"When I walk around,
I only travel in...
THE VERY BEST OF CIRCLES."
