NO RIGHT TURN

Where are the routes of yesteryear?
It really makes my stomach churn.
I need to go to Ryhope, but
they`ve gone and blocked off that right turn!

We`re stranded on a `desert isle`.
From St Gab`s Ave, there`s no way south.
It seems that our alternatives
are A19 ->or <- Wearmouth.

We`ve risked our necks on Ewesley Road
(A carpark zone with one track street).
We`ve tacked around on speed-bump roads.
Found cul-de-sacs. Admit defeat!

What lunatics did they employ,
who so disrupt our traffic flow?
Why, folk who don`t live here, of course -
so we should tell them where to go.
