Take The Side Roads
My father always said
Take the straightest route
It is always the safest way to go
Trod by all sensible people
I found that yes, it may be safe
And well trodden by everyone else
The most beautiful scenery
And the most interesting people
Are always on the side roads
Waiting for the people who are like them
Those special ones who take detours in life
