Global Positioning

I have discovered a new thing and that is, my phone can navigate me wherever I am going using a global positioning satellite. It's amazing. This poem is called "Global Positioning."

I have a dead gum GPS. It's right there on my phone.

It seems it finds any address mankind has ever known.

I enter a number and the street.

It finds the thoroughfare. It's simply one amazing feat.

My phone directs me there.

It tells me to go right or left and how far to the turn.

It never has left me bereft as I have come to learn.

It advises me which lane to choose, the name of the next street.

It's one amazing thing to use. My roadmap's obsolete,

but there was something I went through.

I thought it was kind of scary.

I had to run some flowers to a country cemetery

I put in where I had to drive, my phone got me right there.

What it said when I arrived is what made me beware.

What gave me such a sense of dread

and caused me consternation, the voice inside my phone just said,

"You've reached your final destination."

Happy trails.
