Never Ask For Directions

Never Ask for Directions

By Elton Camp

Some always know what north will be
However, that surely isn’t true of me

And, really, what is there I can say
Have I turned the map the right way

Is that next turn to be a left or a right
In finding the way I’m not too bright

But directions I’m not going to ask
My confusion I just have to mask

Admit I’m lost I simply can’t do
For help who would I turn to?

Others may know even less than me
For to keep on guessing is the key

I’d much rather endure cold or heat
Than, as a navigator, admit defeat

Stop and ask for directions you say
That I will never do, there’s no way!

Elton Camp November 3, 2012 at 8:23 PM LOL, I actually do sometimes ask directions now that I've become an old man. Thanks for reading and commenting. Elton

Toquyen Harrell November 3, 2012 at 4:39 PM They say men never ask for directions. It's true. I see here too :) It's in your genetics maybe lol. Funny poem, Elton. Love ya, Toquyen Elton Camp November 3, 2012 at 8:25 PM Old age has forced me to ask directions at times, but it is still not something I like to do. Elton
