GPS poem

[Shadow Catcher]

A perennial topic on RV forums are GPS units. I am directional challenged in the extreme and I am past the boy code stuff enough to be willing to ask for directions. However the short term memory which was never been good to begin with has deteriorated to the point where...
The Navigator has maps and do appreciate her efforts, we have run into problems where the GPS (a TomTom) would not accept valid addresses and faded into unseeability last year and was replace with a Garmin which we like very much. We do not have to worry about over head clearance so the RV specific GPS units are not necessary. I found this on iRV2 which I though cute.

I have a little GPS
I've had it all my life
It's better than the normal ones
My GPS is my wife

It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty five"

It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake

It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene

It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice
It fills me up with counseling
Each journey's pretty fraught
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the damned thing off.

Well done!


(...Since you called 'it' a damned thing, ya better not show this poem to your wife!)
