Detour

Sorry, you can’t come this way.

Didn’t you see the orange sign?

You must find a work-around to

Get to where you want to be.

 

Yes, I know frustration stirs and

Yes, I know it seems unkind

But I am but a messenger, so,

I beg you don’t be mad at me.

 

Must be some good reason for

The way to be under restriction.

Dangers could be lurking that

Require sanctioned interdiction.

 

Might as well just suck it up and

Find a way around this mess,

Thankful for the warning even though

It causes mild distress.

 

There could well be a blessing in

This warning, to be sure.

I suppose I should be thankful

For the warning sign: Detour.
