Tonight I write of Lefty Wright,
a lifter slightly gifted,
who nightly lifted left and right
so deftly1 all he lifted.
Lefty lifted, on his left,
aloft a hefty crate2.
Lefty lifted, on his right,
a slightly lighter3 weight.
So though Lefty lifted deftly,
shifting as he lifted,
Lefty, listing swiftly leftly,
drifted off a cliff did.
Rites4 were read for Lefty Wright
to Wrights he left bereft5.
Despite his might, from quite a height,
yes, Lefty Wright has left.
