Roadwork Gods.

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!
