Alan Driving In Drogheda 2010

ALAN DRIVING IN DROGHEDA 2010 Frosty night going home In my red 99 Corolla 1.3 hatch (no chrome) Sign ahead says Drogheda 5 Still a long way to drive. Motorway break, need pit-stop. Sitting there parked near shop: Toilet, coffee - nothing nicer; Most important - a can of de-icer. Drain coffee give it a last stir. Start her easy, listen to purr. Into first, then it struck me - And here you’ll probably agree - About Drogheda I must admit My favourite thing is the road out of it.

Sometimes the fun of a certain place comes out of the long way you have to drive to get there... Loved the poem =) Cheers

I'm thinking Drogheda must be in England, Sydney, but there are plenty of places in the US where "My favorite thing is the road out of it." Enjoyed this little trip with you. Stay safe and warm. Love, Carolyn
