My Shared Driveway by Sarah Cave Some people may not like it To share a driveway lane, If you ask me, I love it! My neighbours keep me sane We live next to a triplex With a flat on every floor, And we share a single path From the street to the back door It comes in handy when it snows And our backs hurt to shovel, Luckily they have a plow That gets us out of trouble We walk across the laneway To give them a parcel left astray, Or to hand off our cat, Sookie To take care of while we’re away They make the trip to our side With gluten-free treats in hand When they come over for a BBQ
Or when they play in our basement band We meet in the middle to take out trash Or to chat about our day, Sometimes we block each other’s cars But it always ends up okay Visitors come to the in-between, Often a skunk or bunny, We share their pics on our WhatsApp group If we think they’re cute or funny So if you have a driveway like mine And you think it is unfair, I’d say there’s a good reason why We teach our kids to share
