There I was off to see my daughter,
It was only forty five miles away
But for some reason
The roadwork gods awoke
And decided to thwart my drive.
It started off quite easily,
Driving in unity with the road,
Not much traffic,
Little did I know what was ahead.
Sailed onto the motorway with ease,
Drove down it at speed
I will be there early I thought,
But no there were the roadworks gods
Sitting there in front of me,
Laughing their heads off.
I came off of the motorway
Needing to turn right at the roundabout,
But no
Couldn’t do that ,
Was directed left.
So there I was heading away,
Away from the place I was going
Because the roadworks gods
Had closed the way I needed to go.
So up to a new roundabout,
Sailed all round it,
Came back to where I was.
It all took time
So I was on the right track again,
Then I came to the next one
More roadworks,
And the lights of course were red.
Eventually came to the last road,
The road to my daughters house,
Only fifteen miles to go,
But the roadwork gods were there
And in that fifteen miles
They had four lots of roadworks,
And every one of them
I had the red light stopping me.
Those roadworks gods know when I am driving,
And delay me every time!
