Sat Navigated

Hello Poetry Lovers

Today we are tackling that bane of our existence, The Sat Nav. Derided yet so necessary – or is it?! Did we throw away our A-Zs and maps too soon?! I remember trying to get round Central London with one of those things. Nearly got out and walked! Only I couldn’t!

Clever poet Sharron Green has bravely taken this sometimes baffling system on with hilarious and stressful results! We feel her frustration all the way in this wonderful piece. Read on

I’m Sat-Naive 

I have a trusty Sat Nav

and mostly it’s ok,

but there’s no excuse 

for the wild goose

it made me chase Monday.

We set off from South London –

a trip I’ve done before 

but the Sat route

just did not shoot 

down to the Sussex shore.

Instead of speedy motorway

the A roads switched to B,

down country lanes

with unknown names –

one hour stretched to three!

My brother was so patient, 

he didn’t like to say

“You have a choice –

switch off her voice –

you know the bloody way!”

Wasn’t that such a great piece?! And so so true! We are literally in the Sat Nav’s hands! Thank you so much, Sharron. Please keep them coming!

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry capers real soon…..
