THE ROADS WERE UNEVEN AND BUMPY

 

The roads were uneven and bumpy,

Potholed and rutted

Which is no more than what

You come to expect

Of a third world country

Unfortunately, I was driving in Surrey

LIFE’S HIGHWAY # 3

 

It seems that no matter which road I travel

As soon as I turn onto it the road works begin

But it’s not the road works themselves I mind so much

It’s that they’re never filling the bloody Potholes in

LIFE’S HIGHWAY # 2

 

It seems that no matter which road I travel

As soon as I turn onto it the road works begin

They always get there before me with one exception  

There are never any problems on the road to ruin

LIFE’S HIGHWAY # 1

 

No matter which road I decide to travel along

Road works have got there before me it seems

I think it’s part of a new government initiative

“The dig up the roads to cause congestion scheme”

IF YOU ARE WONDERING ABOUT THE WHEREABOUTS

 

If anyone is wondering where all the traffic cones, personnel barriers and sundry mobile street signage have gone I can now reveal their whereabouts.

They are currently to be found on every Road, Street, Lane and Close in Woking.

Some barriers stand sentinel around abandoned holes in the ground, while cones are to be found either in ones or twos making potholes or broken drains or in uniform rows blocking off perfectly serviceable lanes for weeks on end for no apparent reason.

We also appear to have all the temporary traffic lights in the land and so numerous are they that they rival, in number, the towns Christmas lights.
