Driving instructions

Driving instructions

By May Kwek

I remember when we were driving around one day

And we found that we had lost our way

So we took out a map and decided to check

But found that map reading skills was something we lacked

You were better so I had to drive

And you would tell me to turn left or right

But not long after, we soon found

That you were holding the map upside down

With that settled the trouble began

And for awhile never seemed to end

For though you could read the map

Your instructions were worse than the map’s!

You would tell me to turn there

And I would have to ask where

In return you would use your finger to point

Or to jab me in a joint!

Then I would give you an affronted stare

Which you replied with an angry glare

After which you would say, “Turn there!”

And I would promptly reply, “Where?”
