Roadworks

It has been my observation
While in the northbound traffic queue
That roading companies impose
Nonsense rules to make you stew

The first and most important rule
For Health and Safety regulation 
Is to put out a thousand road cones
To block (I mean aid) traffic navigation

Next, have too many roading signs
Make sure they make no logical sense
So traffic cops sense your confusion
And can charge you with an offense

Rule three is easy to remember
Wherever there is a pothole.... ignore!
Seal the road around it to guarantee
More roading contracts by the score

Rule four, watch out for road workers
As they can be an unruly mob
(I would do this out of courtesy
If only I could see someone on the job)

At last, the queue is moving now
Spraying gravel abundantly
I think this is the place for me to start
A windscreen company!
