MAP READING

MAP READING.
We’re on the crease
We’re off the page
We’re spiral bound
Without a Tom Tom
Don’t say it loud just whisper it
So we can’t hear - ‘We’re marginalised.’

The print’s too small
The scale’s too big
Both pairs of specs
have been mislaid.
Don’t say it loud - just whisper it
So we can’t hear - ‘We’re too long-sighted.’

At 65 we’re free and gratis
There is no reason
For anyone to bother us
We’re out of season
Do say it loud - please make it clear.
We enjoy ourselves too much to care.
