Never Ask For Directions
Never Ask for Directions
By Elton Camp
Some always know what north will be
However, that surely isn’t true of me
And, really, what is there I can say
Have I turned the map the right way
Is that next turn to be a left or a right
In finding the way I’m not too bright
But directions I’m not going to ask
My confusion I just have to mask
Admit I’m lost I simply can’t do
For help who would I turn to?
Others may know even less than me
For to keep on guessing is the key
I’d much rather endure cold or heat
Than, as a navigator, admit defeat
Stop and ask for directions you say
That I will never do, there’s no way!
