Detour

Detour in the road - keep left;

An unexpected fork

Took us on a wooded journey.

We were somewhere in New York.


We likely chose the way that was

The one that was mistaken,

So here we are, an hour later,

Feeling quite forsaken.


A stream of cars ahead of us

And equally behind,

All inching on except for those

With U-turns on their mind.


A mile to go, or so it says,

Until the Thruway link.

What’s up ahead I do not know,

Afraid to even think.


Another fine example of

A nice day gone awry,

With nothing we can do

Except to shake our heads and sigh.
