Crossing a River

Sometimes with interstate travel,

Your driving plans might just unravel,

For crossing a river

WAZE* might just deliver

The worst way to kick up some gravel.

 

If you are like me, then your preference

Is taking a bridge, though in deference

To GPS choice

You may stifle your voice

And accept what they know as a reference.

 

So from Jersey to get to the city

A bridge wasn’t mentioned – a pity!

We joined in the funnel

Of cars to the tunnel

Which most of the time isn’t pretty.

 

Today wasn’t nearly as busy

So I wasn’t nervous or dizzy;

For tunnels don’t thrill me

And often they fill me

With nerves, leaving me in a tizzy.
