Crossing a River
Sometimes with interstate travel,
Your driving plans might just unravel,
For crossing a river
WAZE* might just deliver
The worst way to kick up some gravel.
If you are like me, then your preference
Is taking a bridge, though in deference
To GPS choice
You may stifle your voice
And accept what they know as a reference.
So from Jersey to get to the city
A bridge wasn’t mentioned – a pity!
We joined in the funnel
Of cars to the tunnel
Which most of the time isn’t pretty.
Today wasn’t nearly as busy
So I wasn’t nervous or dizzy;
For tunnels don’t thrill me
And often they fill me
With nerves, leaving me in a tizzy.
