Right

My dad had all kinds of sayings, kind of like King Solomon.
One of them was:
He was right dead right as he sped along
But he was just a dead as if he was wrong.
We have an adaptation:
We were right, really right, as we crept along
But we were hit as hard as if we were wrong.
All this to announce the probable demise of our beloved Alexander the Avalon! Someone was not watching for the speed bump and hit was as we crept over it. What a sad day. Poor Alex has been babied for 5 years and was taken out by a Ford pickup.
Life is short. Beware, for we all face death when we least expect it. Do you have your reservation?
