I can read a map
But I would rather not
I can follow directions
But I often get lost!
Going North would be all right
If I knew which way North was!
And with all the one way streets downtown
If I make a wrong turn
I’m out of luck!
The other time
All I wanted to do was to get back home
But instead
I took the scenic route!
I visited these new areas
I did not know existed
I saw new places
And tried to enjoy them
Finally I decided to ask
For directions
But remembering the directions
Was another challenge!
A GPS would be great
To tell me where to go
But for now its my hubby
On my cell phone!
