By the Numbers
To reach my son, you take the Hutch*
To exit 29.
His town is listed, bold and bright,
Right on the exit sign.
So it was quite a big surprise,
A month or two ago,
To see that exit 18
Was the way that we should go.
The highway numbers all were changed
Without a heads-up call,
The reason why a mystery,
Our need to know quite small.
My brain’s been programmed all these years
To 29, but now,
I have to cross some wires -
How I wish that I knew how!
