The rain at times is endless,
We have definitely had our share…
The countryside is soaked,
And the roads beyond repair…
Just driving around’s, a challenge,
It’s like the Dakar rally track…
As you duck and weave those potholes,
On your way to work and back…
Colin Bond would be proud,
On how you handled yourself today…
Avoiding a head on collision,
From the traffic that came your way...
You thought you were in America,
As they were driving on the right…
Avoiding those huge craters,
That are hidden out of sight …
Sometimes going bush,
As you have nowhere to go…
An unwanted safari through the scrub,
A true-life rodeo…
Finally making it back to bitumen,
Your heart rate’s slowing down…
With the excitement all behind you,
As you clambered into town…
Now in the safety of your home,
You sit back and reminisce….
Of the adventure you had today,
Just another hit or miss…
