The Road to Maldon

Canvey Island’s just a housing estate

At 7:00am they all try to escape

Cars head to toe

All raring to go

Or scared they’re going to be late

Leigh-on-sea is where they retire

Southend really fails to inspire

Breakfast down on the front

Then a post office hunt

To take the load off Den’s tyre

Batteries don’t go in the mail

So again on a locksmith trail

The remains of the key

Can’t be set free

An hour gone to no avail

At Ashingdon another short wait

As Den packs his hazardous freight

It cost £9

A good deal all round

As he’s lost 9lb in weight

I’ve carried Den’s nuts all day

Cause he was about to throw them away

When he takes them back

After Battlesbridge snacks

I’m shocked at how much they weigh

We had our snacks at 12:40

£12:40 the bill came shortly

‘Twould be quite thrifty

To have beer at 1:50

But I consider that rather naughty

We get to the pub around 2:00

I’ve a room booked for two, too

But bless my Bryony

They have no sense of irony

I was hoping for room twenty-two.

Not a route to be recommended. Insufficient traffic-free sections, and too many fast and dangerous vehicles.
