Perform a U - Turn
It should be really easy
To get to Grantham right on time
Unless, that is, your Sat Nav
Is as troublesome as mine
I have the postcode ready
And I’m sure I’ve got it right
But my Sat Nav seems to be convinced
It’s on The Isle of Wight!
Now I quite like the main roads
Seeing signs along the way
But my Sat Nav has a cunning plan
To get me there today
It wants for some strange reason
To have a different point of view
To take me on the scenic route
Where there’s no traffic queue
Now I don’t like a line of cars
Through miles of motorway
Though it’s better than the pot holed roads
My Sat Nav thinks I might prefer today
I decided to ignore it
When 50 miles had gone
Big mistake on my part
Cos I’d left the dammed thing on
“Where do you think you’re going?”
It’s tinny voice did say
“You must perform a U Turn”
“Or I’ll find a different way”
I don’t listen to it blindly
And now I’ve got myself a map
So I can get to Grantham
In time to take a nap
