An Ode to Road (Construction)

 Clif Walter Martin inspired a song in me to the tune of the Kingston Trio song about the MTA: (Metropolitan Transit Authority) with credit to them.

"All I wanted to do was to go to Meijer,

to pick up some groceries,

But all I could do was get lost in the detours,

Crying what will become of me?

Chorus: But will I ever return? No, I'll never return,

and my fate is still unlearned,

I will ride forever through the streets of Muskegon,

I'm a gal, who'll never return.

Well, all I did was to take the wrong U-Turn..

And now, it's a quarter past 3.

I'll never afford to see my brother in Stoton,

nor my cousin in Eau Clairee.

Chorus: But will I ever return? No, I'll never return,

and my fate is still unlearned,

I will ride forever through the streets of Muskegon,

I'm a gal, who'll never return.

All night long, I've been following detours,

Neither store nor home, I see.

The only way out of this construction,

is to head for Michigan City.

New chorus.

But will I ever return?

No, I'll never return,

and my fate is still unlearned,

I will drive forever,

Through Michigan City,

through Chicago, and never return!"

(This is what little old ladies at grocery stores are really doing when they seem deep in thought.)
