Mistakes: a rengay

Mistakes is the latest rengay from the Three Happy Renegaydes! (I think it’s number 15 in the third series. I’m losing count!). I enjoyed this one. I hope you do too!

ls:      er, slip of the tongue       
       learn a lesson every day—
               so, they say,     don’t they?

ml:     designated driver
            responsible for keys
            locked in glove box

ls:     I turn right instead of left,
          where are we?       not got a clue

db:      li'l Martians
              ask directions of
    traffic lights

ml:     friends don't let friends
        drink and drive    spaceships
