According to the Google, a long lost poem by poet William Gemini has just been uncovered.
It is called, To Avoid the Pot Hole or To Not.
The snow has fled, the sun is high, A lovely day on P.E.I., But 'neath the mud and slushy sheen, A cavernous abyss will soon be seen. It’s not a puddle, friend, beware— It’s where your hubcap says a prayer.
The tourists think we’re sick or mad, The way we weave is really bad, But locals know the rhythmic dance, Of giving every "crater" chance. We’re not insane, we’re just in fear, Of losing half a chassis here.
