August 2nd

The road is dusky and dimly lit

As we comfortably cruise or tailback sit

If I must driver seat reside

It’s always better with you by my side

Your driving skills my now be obsolete

But you always make my journey complete

And sometimes, when you are sleeping

I have the urge for gentle speeding

And although it speeds up a journey

It may also lead to needing an attorney

When I look across and see you there

Reclining in the passenger chair

Your eyes closing is an invitation

For me to lean across and change the radio station

Our conversations keep me going

And you can tell when my tiredness is showing

You make any journey a bit of a treat

With communal water and packet of sweets

And you know when you drive with Gav

There is no need for a Sat Nav

We know where we’re heading, there is no doubt

Is it straight on or left at this roundabout?

If you’re getting restless or feeling bored

I’ll take you to places unexplored

Whether pole to pole or around the equator

Promise to be my life navigator

And I’ll promise our journeys will never end

I’ll always drive you around the bend
