Stuck in traffic

"Life’s a one way street..."

Well I must be going the wrong way !

Everyone else seems to know where they’re going

And look at me with whooshing puzzled frowns

When I was younger I just laughed at them

Confident this was the best way, the fools!

But lately I’m not so sure. I have some doubts.

My companions on this route seem to have gone

Turned off down leafy side-streets to the suburbs

Stopped off at expensive cafes on the way

Or have had to leave to pick up the kids on another road

But somehow I can’t turn round

And it looks even harder to cut across traffic for the safety of the kerb

Maybe if I just stop here they’ll treat my like an island

And I’ll be safe

And lollipop ladies will stand next to me

And I can just look up and watch the sun going down and the stars coming out...
