Getting nowhere


You forwarded this mess

Getting nowhere

 

It really is a headache

For a road that goes round and round,

It should be more of a pleasant drive 

Like a fairground merry-go-round.

It really is up the junction

From one to thirty one. 

It should have taken no time -

Not a never-ending run.

It would be so much quicker

To drive through London town

(Coz everyone's using the m25)

To avoid a near breakdown.

Even though four services

About every thirty miles

It takes forever to get to them -

Like the length of the British Isles.

Known as a car park

Between the three or four lanes

And time wise, not much difference,

To catch a British train.

 

Avoid the queues of traffic

Use the roads marked A's and B's

See views, nature, and trees

Stop for wees, cups of teas with ease.

 

The toll is just a steal,

If it’s faulty, you’ll be fined

It's got so very stressful

If this is not paid on time.

 

Speed cameras must have filmed

Many bumpers to tailgates

Stuck in familiar jams,

A guarantee of being late.

 

A concrete mass of infrastructure

That causes further queues.

Improvements are a further dread 

As the air turns calm to blue.

 

For the ring road that saves time

So why like this I question

So many more cars on the roads.

There’s just too much congestion.
