I met a signpost in an empty plain

I met a signpost in an empty plain

And asked it for the way to Spain

It said, ‘Although I know the way

‘To Buxton and Layer de la Haye

‘To Glasgow and to Colne Engaine

‘I do not know the way to Spain.’

It whipped a satnav from its pocket,

Plugged into a nearby socket,

And said, ‘According to this screen

‘You get to Spain via Parson’s Green.

‘You find a wardrobe in a shop

‘Unlock the doors, and in you hop.

Then you will appear to vanish.

‘The next day you’ll be speaking Spanish.’

Edward Alport/England
